well i finally pulled it out of the shop today at 530pm!! it runs great!! this motor runs SOO smooth. when it idles i cant even tell its runnin.

now for the truth about how it goes.

it goes like stink on shit! 1st pulls so hard, and it chirps second pretty good. it has very good power all the way up to 5000. the weber works really well with this motor too.

so im very pleased with my new motor. im gonna take it easy on it for about 200 miles untill i get the motor broke back in. it sat in a warehouse since 98, so ill be nice to it for a while. :lol:

At some point I'd like to see a parts list for what you did. I'd like to do something similar to my 75.

wel basically all i did was just take a motor out and put a motor in. i think your 75 has the older motor so the only thing you have a problem with is them motor mounts. other than that, it just a matter of putting the motor in.
