Thanks Adrian--

Spoken well and from the heart.  I have a 1500 that I replaced bearings,
timing chain and sprocket, and the gaskets.  The biggest problem I have at the
time has nothing to do with the engine--it is the Weber carb.  The engine
wants to run and go, but the Weber seems, no matter how much adjustment and
"dinking" I do on it, to want to starve the engine of gasoline.   Probably my
own ignorance of the carb--I will keep working with it in hopes of resolving
that problem.  No leaks at all.  Good strong acceleration when under load.
Sounds good.

I cant wait to get my 1275 that I have totally overhauled and bored to 0.30
going so I can make a comparison.
