t140v

I have 1973 T140V. As far as I know it's internally stock, but have no way of knowing. It has 2 into 1 exhaust and Boyer Micro-Mark III electronic ignition. It kicks back really hard when trying to start it. I have to jump and kick it hard (I weigh 200 lbs -14 stone for those across the pond)...
