Hi guys,
Just running a sanity check. But how or can you tell the difference between the "Control unit L-jetronic" for a K-100 and a K-75. Background I'm slowly restoring Blue the USD $500. K-100 I picked up last year. And of course I've got a couple of K-75 units laying around as well as the K-100 unit off Blue and I want to make sure I get the right one. And none of them are labeled. Well maybe it's labeled mostly by grease and such but I was meaning is there any physical dimensional or connectors or model labels I should just look at to make sure?
For anyone not familiar with the story, buddy Greg asked me if I was interested in another project bike. And like an idiot I asked how much and details like did it run (it didn't at first). Anyway I went over and met the sellor whose first comment should have warned me off. But he allowed that he wouldn't be selling it - despite that the last time it was licensed (ran) was 2012 - except that he needed to make his bail. Seems some new Indian owners of the building that he was managing came by with some orders and he fell off the wagon and was waving a pistol around and maybe even fired it into the air. And even in the peoples republic of Berkeley the police take exceptions to such behavior and by the time they finished taking all his firearms and tossing him in jail he needed bail money and money to relocate to a more hospitable area. Maybe like Montana, Idaho or Texas? Anyway for a mere $500 his dearly beloved long time K-100 could be mine. He even delivered it as I didn't have any way to get a non-running 500lb bike home. And so it's sat for the past year or two as the pandemic had its way with us. And now after powder coating the frame I'm slowly reassembling the bike. YES, I did get it to run or at least start up before I disassembled it. So that's the true story of Blue.
So Info on the telling the differences in "Control unit L-jetronic" units appreciated.
best regards
