Wheeler Actually the 1975 version had become rather complicated with many carburetor "gimmicks", exhaust feedbacks, etc. to make the pollution standards. It was pretty hard to adjust the carb without a factory machine. My first was a '59 - went 200Kmiles on the original engine, 2nd clutch, 3 brakes, 3 sets of tires, 1 paint job. You could tune that in your sleep (a 6 volt bulb and two clip-wires was good enough to time it). Now that was indestructable! (Not quite, because it died when some jerk rear-ended me and wiped it out.)
