miley on a hawk...makes headlines and "what bike??"

eww? dont let jealousy get the better of you, you'll just end up with an achy breaky heart.

you should make sure the carb bowl overflow tubes arent clogged either

soak with pb blaster and apply heat. then use a flat screwdriver (i've used cold chisels and wood chisels also) and hammer to break the offending fastener loose.

got the seller to publicly share the engine/frame numbers. we can all agree that this machine is not any of the following as described by the seller:

-very original
-japanese domestic model
-early production

it's on the bench, you have the skills/tools. split the cases and inspect.

engine parts are plentiful and reasonably priced.

the throttle handle housing has a screw for adjusting friction on the throttle cable, that might be too tight.
