Just got it firing!
I have posted before about the 1978 V50 I picked up a while back. It supposedly only has 1500 original miles on it. I rebuilt the carbs and tweaked a few other minor things but I runs great. It does have a starter button glitch witch I am trying to work out. When I can get it started is runs great.
The main problem I have now is it is leaking quite a bit of oil. My theory is that it sat for so long and the gaskets dried out and now it runs fine but leaks a ton of oil. There is a small puddle of oil on the case under the air box. See my photos. Do I need to breakdown the engine and reseal it? Is this easier than a rebuild. With only 1500 miles, I am wondering if I can just replace gaskets and bolt it back together?
