Hi folks,
I just bought 3 old 650s with the hope of getting at least one good one out of the 3. I got a 77, 81, 83. none have been running for quite a while. I will retire next month, and this will be my first project, to keep myself from rusting out.
I imagine this site will be quite a help during the coming months.

First off Welcome and if I was you start off with the 77 since from what I hear that is the best year out of all the 650s! Best carbs and wiring and most if not all parts are interchangeable with other years!
Plus other stuff as well....
