New member with half a Duc
Posted: Wed Oct 12, 2011 12:20 am
Hello All
I acquired a 1974 Swiss Army Condor A350 (Duc Bevel widecase single) about 5 years ago. It never ran right or idled and it sprained my ankle so I gave up on it. About a month ago I decided to take the carb apart for the 4th time and check the float. Turned out even though the float appeared to be correct, it wasn't closing the valve. I got excited, fixed it, started it, and it idled! Then I rode it and it was fantastic! Slow, but fantastic. Took it on a road trip and it was great. Now I can't stop riding it.
So here I am.
I currently race off-road vintage Asian bikes, but I really like this bike.
Thanks for registering me,
Mark
