I've been diving down a bit deeper into the bike. I've ordered new copper-core spark plug cables and new spark plugs (18mm). I was removing the 18mm to 14mm adapter on the front head and it snapped off. I'll be removing the heads this weekend and take them down to a machine shop to get tapped and cleaned up. I have noticed many missing small items, especially grease fittings. I've replace all the missing fitting on the front fork and lubed it. I found two (of four) snapped off bolts that hold the back of the air cleaner on the carb. I will have to drill and tap those out as well. I will be removing the gas and oil tanks this weekend also to get better access to the heads as well as do a good flushing. So, before I get this out on the road I will: - Rewire the electrical (I've found a lot of dodgy wiring. - Flush the gas and oil tanks. - New oil in engine an gearbox. - Install a heel/toe clutch pedal. - Rebuild the carb. Lot's to do. David |
