Well, after watching this thread for a bit, I have to weigh in, too.
I love my '80 Westy, and other than 1 head popping off right after I
got it, and operator error (me) on an air filter change, I have had
zero problems with it.  It starts right up, and while it is
definitely pokey, it gets me where I need to go.  I just gotta take
the GW website with a grain of salt, as I would any other vendor's
propaganda.
