How To Ride In Motorcycle In Heavy Crosswind RideApart

I would be checking for gunk in the main jet tat has come from the tank since starting
indications are from wide open throttle just to keep it at idle

Hello, check your fuel filter, tank, hoses for presence of water.
That's the most common problem, condens water freezing and thus clogging the fuel flow...

water may be in spark plug cavity.

if you have spark and fuel check for water. try cleaning your plugs

That is a good find!-- I always favor the Schwinn line-- My Dad used to sell them in Warsaw, New York years ago!
You ask good questions-- and maybe I can give you some thoughts--
Likely you will need new tires and tubes all the way around--
You local hardware (maybe even Wallmart?) - or for sure your local bike shop will have them--
Be sure to take the exact size numbers with you-- for there are MANY SIZES in tires these days!

Now-- What are you planning on doing with the bicycles?
The old Schwinn's were Strong, Sturdy AND HEAVY (by today's standards..)
(I used to Pedal papers for years with my Schwinn Corvette!!)
Most bicycle riding enthusiasts these days want lighter bikes-- and thinner tires!--
Great for the long run-- Are you going to use the Bikes yourself, or were you thinking of selling them? -- They probably mean more to you (and are probably worth more to you-- if they were old Family Heirlooms' )

So-- Any family history associated with them?
