First Time Posting Here.
I recently acquired a 175 Hurricane Scrambler.
I am somebody who has history restoring 70's era BMW motorcycles but this will be my first 2 stroke.
It runs, barely. I have to hook a charger up to the bike for the electrical to turn on. After many kicks, it will turn over and run but I think the generator isn't working. It won't run without the charger hooked up.
The Compression feels good and though.
Forks are leaking bad.
It needs new tires, battery, the sleeves between the carb intake tubes need replacing, etc...
I'll probably rebuild the carbs and check out the wiring.
is there a way to test the generator?
I plan to get it running and then do a full cosmetic restoration. Any advice, tips or help would be appreciated.
I have the clymer's manual and I plan to study up in it.
