I used a 12mm carbide burr with a ball end so I could chamfer the edges of the cuts while I was as it. I made good progress today and got it fully assembled but more work is needed. When I was changing the throttle and cable I broke the adjuster boss off the top of the carb. I made a work around with epoxy but have a littler throttle cable play and no adjustment. I also have a persistent fork oil leak., I replaced O-rings at the bottom and even installed a gasket under the bolt head but left side is still leaking. What I hope is the final obstacle is the fuel petcock is clogged and no fuel is flowing. I only put a liter or so in the tank so I can lay the machine on it on it's side and remove the petcock and hopefully restore it without spilling gas. I need to have it running by 7:00 AM to make it to the event on time. The tank had holes and was deformed from ethanol fuel and/or crash damage to is will be ugly for a while. I used the Kaswell kit and adding fiberglass to the outside. Untitled by barnstormerbikes, on Flickr Untitled by barnstormerbikes, on Flickr There are other things but I am done for today,.
October 25, 20205 yr Author Last night I had laid the bike on it's side in preparation to remove the petcock and carburetor this morning. Upon arrival, I decided to move the bike to another spot and when I stood it up, started flowing gas! I pushed it to the embankment and it fired right up! I did a quick plug reading, jetting seemed fine so I went back, worked on the throttle to remove the slack and took her out for a spin. Other than having no brakes it works really well. It idled down low and the clutch seemed amazing. It started several times with a single kick, throttle closed. g I think I figured out where I went wrong on the fork work. I missed the seal between the damping rod and bottom cone. Thanks for looking. Untitled by barnstormerbikes, on Flickr Untitled by barnstormerbikes, on Flickr Untitled by barnstormerbikes, on Flickr
