It was running like a pig though. Might be the lack of air cleaner or just sitting forever. BTW did I tell you guys the clock only says 677 miles????

thats a sweet score with that mileage. im sure if you put an air cleaner in it will run a little closer to normal. nothing has been done to modify it correct? if you havent already, just set the air/fuel screw to its factory setting and put a fresh filter in it and if the carb is clean it should run like new.
