neo5365 Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Hi guys I have joined oldschool for a while but have never thought to post any projects on build thread cause my previous rides weren't oldschool worthy IMO. However now I shall present you my new whip I picked up last week, which Im calling it Little blue for now. Here are some details about it. feel free to discussion in thread below //oldschool.co.nz/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=30608 1979 Suzuki ST80 carry truck NZ new genuine 172ish km's previous owners were all farmers in New Plymouth. Use to be red, last owner paint it blue. Still in rust free condition(according to AA wof man)which is damn surprising excuse the quality photos I took from my 4 year old nokia.

neo5365 Posted March 31, 2012 Author Share Posted March 31, 2012 Ok so after months of daily driving sitting on 5500rpm, the engine finally shows sign of giving up. Has been leaking heaps of water from somewhere around the head. Cuz engine is on a massive angle I cannot tell if its leaking from intake or head. So my mission now is to remove intake manifold, clean carbs, put new gasket and hope bobs your uncle. Am considering another engine atm because the 797cc just cannot take average NZ terrain/roads. some pics for update That is one small durty crab my workspace and yes I use my underwear to clean carbs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neo5365 Posted September 3, 2012 Author Share Posted September 3, 2012 Had an electrical problem for the past few months, some days would not start, some days will be fine. Had a good look under the tray and there were only 6 bolts/nuts so might as well take off flat deck to have optimal working space. After few hours of back tracing loom, fuse, earth wires finally found the damn bastard. Was a main earth line connecting to the battery terminal. Which is really weird cause it does not show any signs of corrosion or burnt marks? Anyways, new wire and 10 mins later, starts first pop now. Also installed period tacho, pretty happy with it. everyone loves comparison photos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
