Some words of wisdom from the man himself,
"Unless you know the entire history of a bike, you can't rule out that a previous owner made an ill-advised carb and/or engine swap. Believe me, this happens all the time.
-Randakk
Truer words have never been spoken.
According to
Randakk's Tech Tip #32, this guy broke 2 of the 3 carb swap rules in one fell swoop.
2. Never mix carbs from late series to an engine in the early series. (the 769A's are from the 1978 GL1000)
3. Never mix carbs within one rack that have different codes.
I think I'll write a letter:
Dear Previous Owner,
Fuck you.
'Ignorance' does not even begin to describe your despicable actions. I hope the future holds for you, a fate worse than death.
Yours in Christ,
Charles
