Just getting time to work on this Scrambler I bought last fall. It's the Holy Grail for me as it's a twin to the bike I got for Christmas as a 12 year old.
Crazy original bike. Someone added a kill switch and the previous owner told me his cousin [the original owner] added a Roadster exhaust when it was a year old. Even still had the original Dayco/Rupp belt.
I rebuilt the original diaphragm carb with no sucess. It started and idled like a dream but would not run off idle. Soooo I slamed a Chinese carb on and it runs like a champ.
Here is today's question, Should I repaint everything and replace all the decals or leave it alone. It is 100% original paint except for the tank which got spray canned sometime in the past. Engine ,frame, torque converter cover all original paint and decals.
So your opinion, repaint it all, some, or leave it original? Thanks.
