74ci Xlch

Here's my 74ci XLCH, circa '68, with bored-out Tillotson carb and velocity stack. Like my buddy's dual-carb Pan, carburetion in the '60s was clean and neat. Kick-start engines were "choked" by either installing a tickler in the float bowl or covering the open stack with your hand while kick-starting. The Tillotson was replaced soon after this photo was taken with the newly introduced S&S carb.
