 Well, I powerwashed the oil off the engine case, changed the oil and filter, cleared out the fuel with the Seafoam additive.  No more smoke.  The old tires had some dry rot in the sidewalls, so I have Shinko 712's newly mounted and balanced.  She's making good power, and groans about like expected when dragging my 300 lbs up the hill.   Brakes rebuilt and stopping the beast.  Mufflers are riddled with cancer right behind the 2 into 1 collector on both sides,(the rust and small cracks turned into gaping holes after a few short rides. so probably have to drop a small fortune on some slip ons.  DMV says they will issue new plate and registration for 78 somolians.  I may get a few rides up the canyon before too much longer!
