Finished putting the top end back on. need to adjust he carb and tweak the timing a bit. It kicks over though (and then dies)
I have several boxes of snuff-or-nots so I though I’d try them out with straight pipes to see if I think they’re neat.
Finally got around to putting the pistons and barrells back on today. Need to pick up one new pushrod tube before the head goes back on.
Picked this up in January 2008 down the street from a friends house. Last registered in 1992. Wassal tank and original dirt.. semi-original rust
I was going to get a new tank painted up nice and make a pretty clean looking bike… that is till I bought this tank off a T100SR and I liked how the paint is worn though several layers in spots.. so this tank is being used as is (If I ever find the original bikini sidecovers it will go totally back to stock.
I replaced everything in the primary: clutch basket,hub, put a sparx alternator in it, and one of the MAP pressure plates which I’m fond of.
The fork oil was a little dirty
The tubes had seen better days also
I took apart and rebuilt the entire front end, put new bearings races,new tubes, painted the trees and lowers
Put a stock wiring harness on it and overpriced sidecover
Added a pazon electronic ignition and completely re-wired the bike. I made so many changes to the stock harness I bought it would have bee easier starting from scratch. The monobloc was toast and after i shot a flame out of it I sprung for a nice new concentric carb.
I was getting some smoke out the left exhaust and it wouldn’t do anything but idle. Took apart the head. The valve guide were sliding up, at some point there had been some wrong sized spark plug that had struck the pistons. Had the head rebuilt and the cylinders honed. I also built one good gear box out of two mostly good ones.
Gearbox back in. Got distracted polishing up covers. Next: Putting the top end back together.
