Frank's BMW R60/2 EP2 Brakes and troubleshooting

Описание: I am continuing to try and help out my neighbor with his '66 BMW R60/2 in the hopes of helping him clear a few projects out. I'm an amateur mechanic and a bit of a hack, but I like to help people as I am able as well as working on my own projects. In this video I am trying to figure out why I keep having loss of power issues when running uphill. ‪@The_Bearded_Mechanic‬ and ‪@BrickHouseBuilds‬ I love the stuff you do and would appreciate it if you have any thoughts about what I might be missing or what could be causing this strange behavior (Craig - in a way I feel like this is your fault for inspiring me to try and get back in the shop and work on projects like this 😏).

The work I've done so far is to set the timing, go through the front brakes, rebuilt the carbs, got the headlight and turn signal working, and made some better connectors for the battery. Some of these things I've done multiple times. There was some weirdness with "lever tops" on the carbs (if you push the tickler all the way down, it forces the float clip to out of the groove and too far down - that took longer than I care to admit to figure out) and a lot of things have been done and done again. I'm hoping it just works from here on out, but will have to wait for the next break in the rain to find out.

If you like what I'm doing, and are so inclined to help, I'm gratefully accepting it at https://buymeacoffee.com/6_bike_garage
