You don’t see them much anymore. Points ignition with an outer shim.
\nWith digital ignition, it’s no longer a carburetor but fuel injection, and its computing power has increased dramatically.
\nInner shims have been around forever, but outer ones are pretty much extinct\u2605
\nBut they’re pretty nice because the serviceability is good.
\nIt’s a D1, but it runs really well. The engine is quiet and the primary reduction hasn’t worn out, which is great.
\nWhen it’s running this smoothly, it’s really something special\uff5e
\nIt gets cold as soon as the outside temperature drops a bit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
