Mate check the essentials first like the spark plugs, dizzy, coil, afm do a service and see how she goes. You said you just bought it go over the essentials and then worry about the rest. People here jump to the worst possible case for e.g head gasket etc now i am not having a dig but a head gasket is not the answer to everything on a vl.. check the basics first, do your comp test and go from there.
