Gives you a good head start with removing them in the shed.

zzzak Posted March 23 Author Share Posted March 23 Got my new 1/4" drive socket set, cost me $2.37 but I had to buy something to bring the total up to $15 to get free postage so I chose a 20cm cast iron skillet, it's ideal for two eggs, a steak (not T bone) or a hamburger with caramelized onion, got the calipers soaking in kerosene as my pal doesn't like using compressed air if it can be avoided. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saul Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 I’ve got a couple of those sets, throw away money but useful nonetheless. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzzak Posted April 17 Author Share Posted April 17 Well it taken about 3 weeks of soaking in kero but the final piston succumbed to the G clamp today, now that they are all pushed in its time to push them out, cleaned up the garage to make life easier. It's quite nice having a tidy area to work in, should do the bathroom next. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this rate it will be back on the road right about the time we run out of fossil fuels. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firstly there is no such thing as a fossil fuel, that was made up to create the impression that the supply was limited and second, now that the bakes re looking good there's not a lot to do.

Not to far to go now, have to wait for my able assistant with the workhop to get back to town to finish off the calipers, just cleaned up the garage so its all nice now, until recently we were getting 36C days and in an uninsulated garage its untenable, now that its down to a reasonable 25 or so I can get back to it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzzak Posted April 21 Author Share Posted April 21 So back in the garage to do a few things, now that I'm on top of the brakes I went and changed over the rusty fasteners on the engine for nice S/S ones, looks a lot better, when they package these kits they must throw in a handful of this and a handful of that as I have lots of extras, maybe as I progress I'll find places to put them but so far can't see where they may go, maybe as I get further into the engine spots will turn up especially when I pull off the EPA stuff, that's a whole bunch of plumbing that's in the way and is no longer needed. Removed the airfilter for the very first time in its life, only done 43,000 k but looks filthy with what I guess is oil from the crankcase breather, anyway the new one looks very nice and should enhance the new pipes performance, as well I have a jetting kit for the mods but don't know if I'll fit it, never done carbs before and don't want any mystery surprises, maybe get the local bike mechanic or someone to do them, so with pipes, carbs, hi flow air filter and new plugs it should be quite peppy, there are two removable triangular covers on the airbox (you can see one in the second photo) as well as the snorkel so that should enhance the induction roar, haha, that and the new cans, things are getting exciting. So at Marcels request here's a few photos of the bike in its house. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckster Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Make sense to have the carbs done by someone who knows what they are doing, carbs can be a bit of a dark art. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
