Ditto for me, except I don't know what needles I'm on.  It's run rough since I
owned it.  A strip and rebuild of the carbs and a thorough servicing of the
distributor have got it ticking over smoothly at 1000rpm, and I can get by at
900 just about.  Long runs at 50-60mph seem to do it good, and it likes cold
days.
