Default Got a new enduro this week

Ok I lied, I got it used with almost 700 miles on it but it's a nearly new 1976 Honda XL 175. It seems back in 76 it got parked with a full tank of gas and after 2-3 years it wouldn't start so there it set neglected and unloved. I take in a lot of strays so I had to adopt. Thought it ideal as a first enduro for my 18 year old son. The worst carb I have ever brought back to life and it's 8 hp is too scary for him right now but it's a keeper. I've had a bunch of these over the years and this is the first one with no cam chain noise as it's just too new. Starts first kick and runs almost 70 down the road.
