Hello there,
I picked up a yellow '69 90 this past June just North of Toronto. I got it from the original owner with only 3200 miles on it. I now have it in downtown Toronto and use it to commute around the city daily. I love it....borderline obsessed. When I first got it she wouldn't idle properly, but I was able to smooth things out with some carb tinkering. It has been running pretty well (7.5/10), but I think it needs a full tuneup to run as good as it can. I'm learning a lot about maintaining/fixing it here and hope to do most of the work myself. I did have the cam chain replaced recently, which helped improve power, but it's running pretty loud since....I think something may have happened to the tensioner rod when the chain was replaced. I've read that this shouldnt cause serious problems (noise being the biggest issue). I've been reviewing this forum for some time, but decided today was am appropriate day to introduce myself. Hi!
I look forward to chatting with many of you in the future.
Jon.
