The Intertec 2 stroke manuals were great, nice line drawings, clear concise explanations and hop ups! You too can turn your lowly ( insert model here) into a race bike!
Interesting, that looks seriously useful and like good leisure reading. I never heard of the books or their publisher; were they Canadian, British ... ?
As a superverbose side note: I sense, from a post here and a post there, that you (Mr. G) have an affection for Honda 750/4s. So has this fella --

-- and while his CB750 frame site is generally semi-interesting, what caught my eye was his mention that Tony Foale's early frames were for the Honda and (more interesting to me, not much of a 750/4 lover) that Foale has written some books about frame building*:

Before I stop rattling on near-interminably, Foale's website (or one of them):
https://motochassis.com
* Sadly, there is no Tony Foale book about re"framing" the Segway, which apparently he helped to develop.
I never had a 68 Yamaha, but the 1:12 or 1:16 oil to fuel ratio looked odd. Then when I put some thought to it, our late 60’s sleds were 1:20 in the cold. So not odd at all. I consider myself bilingual when I can breeze through these specs and mm or inches aren't actually necessary. 😊
