Hello everybody, finally got my Bradley turning over. This whole time it was a burnt up battery, hence the reason why none of the electricals work!

Oh well it happens to the best of us. My plan now is to primer it, get it driving and stopping, and drive it like I stole it. But for now I am curious

what CC size my engine is. Its a 79 Factory Assembled GT 2, the owner told me 2200 but he was not sure. I will insert photos of the engine when

I get home. Any info on engine options and such from the factory gladly helps. It has a 2 barrel carb on it if that says anything

Thanks a lot! Hope you all have a great day, Luke.

Way too many variables to even get close to a correct guess. Post the engine number (located under the alternator stand) first. That way we can tell you what it started out its life as. What happened after that is really impossible to tell without measuring the bore and stroke.

I have never heard of a "2200cc" Type 1 motor. There is a 2180 (92 bore & 82 stroke) which is a pretty big motor and I think the holley would be under carb'd for the application.

It likely is just a good old fashion stock 1600cc dual port with the holley carb

It's a good one.
	A bike will keep you young, the wrong bike will stop you from getting older, there is a difference. Same goes for cars like Bradley's

The next step up, providing the rest of the engine is good is a pair of Kadrons. Be careful because they will let you wind the engine up beyond red-line while the stock carb is basically a restrictor.
