Nice! I’m betting you’re probably right about those carburetors, they are gonna need a little love after sitting for 10 years.

@@CrustyCycle9317 just a bit of a different shape with the lip on it. it's said to help a bit with wind buffeting. but I mainly like the look of it and because of the lip my nav setup could/would fit a bit better

Clean the carbs, change the waterpump

It's been running good so far, didn't change the water pump though.

@@CrustyCycle9317 Just keep an eye on the coolant levels, and the oil pressure light. If the coolant levels fluctuate and the OP light flickers the water pump seals have gone. It's relatively easy to do the change; the Orange Crush HoW has all the info you need.

Yes, that's right. I bought that at a vintage swap meet in Tenino, WA. It's original and complete, but I've never even tried to start it. Someday...

@@CrustyCycle9317 Quite a find...can make a decent little bike. (there was a BSA version too and all were made in the BAS factory, but I think they all got rebadged as Triumph for the US after BSA went bust).The last attempt by the British to counter the Japanese in that sector (an important one in the UK market because back then a 250 was as big as you could go without taking a test). Good luck with it!

Good looking bike but it seems they all have 30k on them

Thanks for reaching out. My buddy ended up buying it from me that day. It turned out to be a great runner with 36k miles. The fork seals developed a pretty good leak though.

Yeah, a screamin deal. But I had to buy it and that 750 Honda as non-running motorcycles, sitting for 10 years. They both ended up running good, and I sold the Honda for 1250. The 950 has 36k miles.
