I'll have a chance this winter to get it up on the rack and take a look at the things you've mentioned.<br /><br />Someone knew or suspected that the valves had been dealt with. At 86K, I'm not all that sure about everything else.<br /><br />I was a member of the MOA for a year (after attending the National in WI) and enjoyed the magazine, even with all the grumbling I hear from members about the evolving club. I'll get on the list and have been hearing a lot from all of my 'expert' friends; I'm surrounded by people that have been long-time owners.Coop a.k.a.

Do you knoe what mainteneance or repairs have been done? <br /><br />The early '80s are known to have valve recession problems due to poor heat conduction betwen the exhaust valve and the seat. The only repair is replace the valve seats and valves. This magic mileage seems to be around 50k and I had mine done two years aga.<br /><br />Lube the trans input spline and the rear hub spline every couple of years.<br /><br />Replace the brake fluid every year.<br /><br />I'm told that the diaphrams in the carbs dry out and crack every couple of years. I suspect I have that problem as my mileage dropped all of a sudden this summer.<br /><br />Those are what comes to mind right now, but more than willing to help....RichardMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773834892715980735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512448163402185409.post-3429633733187977642012-12-09T12:15:12.530-09:002012-12-09T12:15:12.530-09:00Richard,

Plus there were live musical performances in the square most evenings.<br /><br />Chicago along the Miracle Mile has some wonderful decorations before the holidays.

There was a dim sum cart running around but the selection wasn't very good. <br /><br />They really do have the area decorated and the Macy's had a lot of lights and huge wreaths. Last year, I looked for the windows in Macy's but they were not accessible to the general public.
