im sure it will MSgt Egress . when i say i lucked out on mine i really lucked out. picked it up on craigs list not running for 150 bucks . was a little worried after i bought it they said they pushed it up and down the street it wouldnt start. was an older mans bike passed on many years back. he drained the carbs and tank before he got sick. when i got it home i looked where he pulled the fuel hoses i saw a mud dobber nest in 1 and the line was still off . i put a battery in it and replaced the gas lines .it turned over about 3 times and started . ive put a few hundred miles on it the only problem i had about a month after i got it was out for a ride started to run a bit rough come to find out the oring that held the main jet in split and it was laying in the float bowl . its unbelieveable what these things are worth now . might just sell it if the right collector wants it
