I am well known for wanting to go back to steel, carbs, points, etc... They try and hand you BS about mileage, I have a 1955 Studebaker in my garage and it gets about 35 MPG and probably weighs around 6,000 lbs and is all steel and chrome. No plastic garbage. I still have an issue with my Speedmaster going on 3 years now and if it had points it would have been running in an hour of the problem for very little cost. I spent a fortune trying to fix it CDI, coils, plugs , wires, pick up coil (crank sensor), set of carbs. I have been riding my 64 BMW, a magnito generator bike. It never gives me any issues and has never been apart. Leaks everywhere because the rubber parts are dry.Been riding that bike all over for 30 years, same with my 66 TR6C. The TR6C needs to be rebuilt now, still runs but worn out, everything, needs a complete rebuild, front end, wheels, engine, etc... I have too much other stuff going on, haven't worked on the Speedmaster in almost 2 years.
