Hey I appreciate you watching! Trying to get back at it more I had a bunch of health issues come up. Man you have some cool bikes too, we'd be wrenching buddies if you were closer 👍
Hey Jared, that’s the coolest little gas can I’ve seen. I’ll bet it’s older that you are. I’ll say it now. There was no doubt in my mind that it wouldn’t fire off. I’ve watched you to long and seen to much to doubt your mechanical abilities. Good job and God bless.
I really do cherish that lil old gas can. He'd write his name, address, ss#, date of purchase and price paid on almost everything he ever bought. It's dated 1953, 30+yrs older than me. I looked up his old address on Google it was an abandoned one room shack in SC pretty wild to see. Ohh the stories he use to tell me...thanks for watching buddy!
There is a guy on TH-cam, called Mags and Tillotson with a black 1968 XLCH. He added a button kit to bottom of Tillotson to get gas into engine quicker. It seems like something good.
I'll have to check him out. I've heard of people adding a "tillotson tickler" they call that. Since this video the initial start up its actually fired up real easy.
Wow! This is a prime example of a bike well put together. The lines are perfect for an all around motorcycle. 1969 was in my opinion the best year ever for motorcycles, cars and music. René from Québec
Another great bike saved. Looks good, sounds good. Sold my '73 XLCH for a '74 XL. i'm too old for kickin. Keep up the good work, loved these vids for years.
Thanks, I hear you on the kicking I feel real fortunate I still can. I think this one is dialed in real good, it wont bite if i do the start up procedure right. It's bit me so I remember alittle better now lol. Thanks for watching!
That is a nice bike. Glad you got it, instead of some like me. That needs to be preserved, not cusstomized. Cause everyone knows the first part of Custom, is Cuss.
I appreciate that, I'd been told I should be on the radio a few times. I'm actually pretty quite and don't say to much...well unless we're talking old bikes. I appreciate you watching!
had bought a aftermkt petcock. looked true. After total rebuild first fire was great. But first ride died after a few minutes. Kick n Kick to no help. Looked over Everything. It was the petcock. Dribble flow filled bowl, ran till dry.
1969...the last year of the real XLCHs....magneto ignition says so!! Don't let anybody tell you that the magneto is finniky and unreliable. Hogwash! When set up right with good quality innards they are MORE reliable than the battery/coil ignition. And the points and plugs last longer than the battery/coil ignition. Any 60s XLCH (magneto bike) is the most bitchen bike ever made. Love the bike and your channel.
I agree with you, for something to sit 10+ years and easily fire up with no battery needed is amazing. I have 2 1968 XLCH's magneto fired aswell. Grown to really like the earlier Sportsters more, no calipers or mastercylinders to rebuild after they sit. Drums don't stop like disc but alot easier to maintain. Thanks for watching!
Well... I relocated a few years ago then had a bunch of health issues come up. Still a long ways to go with the new place and health but trying to get back to messing with bikes when I can. I appreciate you watching!
Gotta give credit where credits due. Never had that situation with priming a kick only bike and no key so I never had to think about it. He blurted out the answer as soon as I said it. Still learning new stuff every day 👍 Thanks for watching!
@jfrost77hd im up here near cleveland, a fellow buckeye . keep em coming i got a 74 iron and an 01 twin cam classic..be safe brother. been watching all the house and farm vids ..
@@jfrost77hd well everybody was going to the S&S carburetor back in the late seventies.. I just couldn't get used to the roll on throttle this is when they didn't have an accelerator pump. So I went with an su carburetor and that was a pretty nice car but I definitely like the Bendix.. I'll probably pull the S&S off of my shovelhead and put a Bendix once I find one for a decent price
It's a keeper for sure, I own a few bikes I'd never sell this is one of them. I gave my word to the widow of the original owner to keep it original and cherish it like her husband did. I feel real fortunate to own this bike and I'm a man of my word.
@jfrost77hd well it's in good hands. I'm old, a man's word should be as good as a written contract, sadly it's not anymore. My Dad would say, " say what you mean but by god mean it" I'm glad it's in your possession.
That's a good name, I dont know if the previous owner ever had a name for it. I don't really name my bikes but his name was Sonnie so I considered that.
@ChitownRon I agree I'm bad with names anyway. Surprisingly I can remember every year bike I own and alittle back story behind each one of them. I enjoy hearing the old history and try to relay some that in my videos.
Love these stock old harleys that aint been messed with
As I've gotten alittle older they've definitely became my favorites. So hard to find them like this. They're only original once, thanks for watching!
What a great old bike to own and ride.
It really is, thanks for watching!
Bro, I love your channel. I’m so glad you’re back to Wrenching on bikes again!!! man I wish I lived near you!!!

What a beautiful, original example of a 1969 XLCH! Please ride it and preserve it in this condition!
Thanks it really is a dream to own, it's mind blowing how nice and original everything is. I appreciate you watching.
@@jfrost77hd I get it, I have one just like it in Hi Fi Green. 4,000 original miles, totally original except tires and fuel lines.

WHAT A SWEET TIME MACHINE!!!!! AMAZING TO FIND A 69 SPORTY ORIGINAL AND IN GOOD RUNNING!!!!! ENJOY!!!!!

SUPER SWEEEEEEEEEET Jared🙏
Outstanding
That is a nice bike. Glad you got it, instead of some like me. That needs to be preserved, not cusstomized. Cause everyone knows the first part of Custom, is Cuss.
🤣👍
Some things are just meant to be, this is one of them, congratulations Jared, little red sporty is home!
I appreciate that I feel the same way. I'm always looking but I've been real fortunate to have some beautiful bikes find me. Thanks for watching!
Really cool man. Thx 4 the vid. Just like the old times.
Trying to get back at as much as I can, I'd much rather do this than work on my old house lol. Thanks for watching!
That thing is iconic. What a gem.
Very cool seeing it chooch to life again. Thanks for sharing.
It never gets old for me, I get just as excited every time 👍
He should do a pod cast he's got the voice and seems like he could talk about bikes and not get boring,cool bike man.
I appreciate that, I'd been told I should be on the radio a few times. I'm actually pretty quite and don't say to much...well unless we're talking old bikes. I appreciate you watching!
@@jfrost77hd awesome man,keep up the great work man,cheers from Ontario,Canada.
I was out on my '69 XLCH this morning, always a joy to ride. I'm also running a Tillotson carb.
Nice! Knock on wood but that Tillotson hasn't gave me any issues...dare I say it but I kinda like it so far. Thanks for watching!
Can’t beat that sound! Looks like she’s coming along nicely
My first motorcycle was a 1964 XLCH w/magneto.
Yep that be very cool Mr. Frost . Sweet machine ...
What a beautiful bike! Greetings from Germany
Hell yes
Absolutely beautiful bike 😮
YOU BET UP HERE IN MASSACHUSETTS WE LOVE YOU I HAVE FAITH IN YOU AND WE DIG YOUR CHANNEL ROCK ON BROTHER YOU RULE .THANSK🎉❤

It's a shame that new don't always mean it works. Sometimes the old used original stuffs just better. Thanks for watching!
Great video awesome old bike
Good to see some vids too been wandering
I appreciate you watching! 👍
What a great day Jared, I honestly believe that the sporty came to the right forever home.
I think so too, it's weird how sometimes things fall into place and just find you. Thanks for watching buddy.
Nice CH. I sure like a small fuel tank for filling. I can rarely not get fuel on my tank when filling it at a gas station.
You and me both! Thanks I appreciate you watching!

Well... I relocated a few years ago then had a bunch of health issues come up. Still a long ways to go with the new place and health but trying to get back to messing with bikes when I can. I appreciate you watching!
Great vid brother awesome bike.
Thanks for watching!
One at a time,
“Then came Bronson”
funny how a lil idea from someone else makes you think , Why didnt i think of that..
Gotta give credit where credits due. Never had that situation with priming a kick only bike and no key so I never had to think about it. He blurted out the answer as soon as I said it. Still learning new stuff every day 👍 Thanks for watching!
@jfrost77hd im up here near cleveland, a fellow buckeye . keep em coming i got a 74 iron and an 01 twin cam classic..be safe brother. been watching all the house and farm vids ..
You should have gone to Wauseon. You would have found what you needed.
🤘😎🤘
Well I'm looking for a Bendix for my shovelhead.. one that's not like expensive like on eBay....
I've got alot of old carbs but I don't think I have any Bendix's. I know some people really like them.
@@jfrost77hd well everybody was going to the S&S carburetor back in the late seventies.. I just couldn't get used to the roll on throttle this is when they didn't have an accelerator pump.

Sounds good , how many miles?
Thanks buddy, it got just under 12k miles. Really is a beautifully preserved bike! Thanks for watching!
👍👍👍🏍️👋👋
Nice old survivor, you going to keep it or sell it?

Very cool motorcycle. We hope to have the opportunity to cooperate with you. How can I contact you?
@@AthenaAthena-lp3dt Hello, what would you like to contact me about?
@@jfrost77hd We have a motorcycle speaker that can connect 2 headphones at the same time, are you interested in learning about it?
If you didn’t name that bike yet, I think the Time Machine would be a good name
That's a good name, I dont know if the previous owner ever had a name for it. I don't really name my bikes but his name was Sonnie so I considered that.
@@jfrost77hd it would pretty hard to keep up with all the names that you’d have to come up with with a barn full of bikes
@ChitownRon I agree I'm bad with names anyway. Surprisingly I can remember every year bike I own and alittle back story behind each one of them. I enjoy hearing the old history and try to relay some that in my videos.
