Another $350 Project

Aquired this 71 (date of manufacture on the door plate is 11/70)
for $350, drained the fuel tank yesterday, threw in a battery,
cranked it over with some sure start in the carbs, it wants
to run if there was fuel, but I want to clean out the tank and
fuel lines first. Did a compression test in each cylinder.
Then I will make the decision as to if I am going to keep it.
Still have the Red 74 to put the motor back into.

Then there is my CZ's, this is the one I race.

Okay, After not being started up for
15 years, I changed out the fuel tank,
all new fuel lines, some clean fuel,
the fuel pump worked and.....

It fired right up.

Now to do some fine tuning.
 
Never ceases to amaze me how many finds there are out there.

Well done!
