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.)
