A guy that works with us has this 76 Shovel and asked Dave-o to give it a look over, in doing so we found the rear exhaust pipe was hanging the threaded insert in the head was stripped completely out and was left with a huge hole.
We got the head back from our local machine shope P&M Performance, they did a great job like always on the head.
The head after the fix.
It's altogether but the carb could use some tweaking now.
