Slone,
When I restored my 72 I decided to go with the Hitachi carbs since I had
zero experience with Stroms. Well I am in my 13th year and no leaks,
drips or errors. Runs like a top. Cant remember who supplied the carbs
but I exchanged my Stroms for a discount.
Through the years I have had real good luck with my H6s on the 3, HS6s
on the 4 and the Hitachi on the 6.
Every once in awhile I have to add some transmission fluif to the
dampers but that is it.
Bob

So just laughing at myself and like to share. Here's how to
"maximize" your shipping cost on a small project. Backed the Six
out a couple weeks ago after my yearly oil change. Looked under,
no oil leaking, but damn. Both carbs are leaking. I've been

a quick order to MOSS for 2 O-rings. Why did I think I could get
