Title: New guy from MD (1975 k25)
Post by: Danbbb on October 25, 2010, 08:48:39 am

Hey everyone!  Looking forward to soaking up some of the knowledge from the guys on this board.  I just picked up a rusty old 75 K25.  It's in good shape other than the rust and the carb.   My goal is to get it running well without bogging/hesitating all the time, replace the rusted out body parts, throw some paint on it.  It's not going to be a show truck but it's going to be nice when I'm done.

Thanks!

-Dan

Thanks everyone!  I just picked up some used tires for it yesterday. (BFG All terrain 33x12.5 x 16.5")

So far I have replaced the radiator, the starter motor, the headlights and all the vacuum lines I could find.  I'm still having the same issue with the hesitation at partial throttle.  As soon as the secondaries open up it takes off no problem.  I have checked the timing and the prev. owner rebuilt the carb.  I'm thinking maybe I should just rebuild the carb again and make sure the jets are all cleaned out but I might just replace the carb completely. 

The other concern is that it could be an electrical issue, but the distrib cap and rotor are both new and the wires too.  I haven't pulled the plugs and checked those yet.

Anyway, I'll post up some pictures one of these days.  Thanks for the warm welcome!
