MODEL 125 and MODEL 165 CARBURATOR (marked "L&L")

There were several models of L&L carburators used on the Model 125s and Model 165s. See the Carburator Chapter in How-To-Restore for details.


Before starting the bike, hold down on the Priming Pin (tickler) for a few seconds until gas starts leaking out. If no gas comes out, you've got a clog somewhere - clogged gas cap, clogged petcock, or clogged carburator from sitting for years without running. Once cleaned and properly adjusted, the carburator is seldom the problem.
