    My bike is a 1980 model, with Murray's Carbs and Rae-San ignition. I bought it last fall, and have been working on it for the last few weeks. I haven't really done any major mechanical work though, mostly electrical. The only thing was cleaning the carbs, as the old fuel had been siting for...

    I managed to get out this bolt: It came from here: It is Honda Part # 90183-422-000. I've searched high and low for a replacement (the threads were corroded and the head is stripped), but have had no luck. Does anyone know of a source? Also, does anyone know the purpose of it? It...
