Yep, a 1600. No words of wisdom except to say to change all the fluids,
torque the head, adjust the valve clearances and due a complete tuneup.
Check the carbs for movement of the chokes, take off the bells and inspect
for grit and carbon/gunk buildup, look at the needles, and make sure there
is oil in the dashpots. I would also check the metal filters in each of the
carbs located in the line which brings in the gas to the fuel bowls.
I would also change the tranny fluid and rear end fluids.
Good luck,
Mike
