I guess if the slides, needles and other jets are identical, I would try the 65s first.

Heated the forward pulley nut with a torch, put wood between the wheel spokes and put my impact gun to it... No dice. :dry:

Heated it some more and put a breaker bar on her with a 3ft cheater pipe. Thought I was going to snap the drive belt off the pulleys. Crack!! I go flying ass over teakettle. Pissed off, I return thinking I have broken something but to my delight the nut was free.!!

Got her down to a rolling chassis. She's coming apart nicely. The more I pull off this bike the more I know I'm not putting back on. Plan on doing a top end rebuild but the clutch will need some inspection as well. It was really hard to engage the clutch lever. The clutch cable and lever are both functioning properly so I've got to take a closer look at the internal side.

Every nut and bolt has been removed. She's in buckets heading into the holidays.

Torque can be a magical thing, or it can be your worst bitch of a mistress. Glad you got the magical one!
