Look what followed me home... was created by pabdt

Actually I rode it home... a 69 DT1S.  Seller was close to my house!  He added the 21" wheel. Gave me a stock cylinder and head w/deal.  
going to bring this one to running status and just ride it.

things to do: 
* tuning, soft off idle
* cylinder clearance, felt vibration at 4k rpm.  
* electrical, check wiring.
* verify oil pump fully functional

Blimey they're still out there. Just not in my country. Soft idle could mean comp--lack of, although you'd feel it on the kick. Or is it a race kit cylinder fitted with high exhaust port. Only asking as you say stock cylinder etc supplied. Good score. I'm jealous lol. Vibration first thought is engine mounts not tight. Smoke first thought burn out exhaust or go ride it hard. Lucky to find it close to home.
