Take your pick from Patrick (acknowledged guru of everything Ironhead) myself (longtime sufferer and former 66 XLCH owner) and good few others who either currently (or used to) own Ironheads.
If you've never owned one before, there are no doubt a few threads on here about it. First thing you do need to know is this; Ironheads are
NOT unreliable. Temperamental, quirky, sometimes downright awkward, yes; and every one has its own starting procedure which can only be acquired through patience, trial and error. If yours is a runner, make certain you note that procedure
in writing from the previous owner; can save you a lot of sweat and swearing!
Pics would be good when you've got it mate.
