AHS 1,482 #1 Posted December 11, 2020 Hi y’all! Ok, I have a B80 8 speed, front gas tank. I think; they went to eight speeds in 76 and they went to rear tanks in 78? So, it gotta be a 76 or a 77, correct. I went through the manuals and they only had one for a 76 B80.. I’m sure I could have overlooked something! Here is the serial # 68-08k803 24940.

It seems. It starts quicker than any of my other 4 wheel horses! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AHS 1,482 #14 Posted December 15, 2020 Hey, I would like to take a look at your carb to governor linkage, with original carb. It runs fine down low and mid speed, but top end, it just surges. Or just tell me how many turns your main jet is out. I can get it to lean stall and run wicked rich. Clean carb and everything all new fuel line. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
