67 ironhead sportster, paughco rigid frame, magneto ignition, kick start only, low-buck, gravel road, bar hopper. Had first brought home the engine in the stock frame from a guy who thought the engine was blown up, I get it home to find that the intake pushrods were adjusted too tight, couldn't build compression, have since put on over 5000 miles on the rat bike, adjusting the pushrods every 1000 miles. !!
