Hi All,
I am new to the world of SR-500's. A while back I bought a 1978 SR-500 for a project bike. Then as all good deals happen I bought another (for parts). Well the parts bike is to have 4000 miles on it. Tonight I started working on it to see if I could get it to run. The previous owner tried to put on a different carb. I bought an original off ebay and started to install it tonight. But I notices that the oil tank was almost empty and when I tried to spin it over (with the compression released) I could hear a gurgling or bubbling (for a lack of a better word) coming from the breather tube. I also kicked it faster and a little oil came out the tube. The other one doesn't make these noises. What might be wrong and what should I do to correct the problem. Thanks in advance. John
