Beaver Posted December 7, 2015 Posted December 7, 2015 Rule #43 When something doesnt work as it should. Try everything else, even the stuff you know works fine, before returning to stock one piece at a time to track down the fault 1 Quote

Popular Post Goat Posted January 21, 2021 Author Popular Post Posted January 21, 2021 Holy thread revive batman. This has been in the corner of my shed for some time. So i've decided to dig it out and get it going. Currently cleaning and rebuilding carbs and rebuilding front brake. Then i'm going to undo the mods i did to make it a cafe and try and turn it back into OG. Have everything to convert it back asides drom the 4 into 1 pipe. Which i'll try and get a repro, as they are the feature point of the bike. Will be progressing slowly, but shouldn't take too much to get it on the road again. As i dug it out and as it currently stands: 11 Quote
Popular Post Goat Posted January 21, 2021 Author Popular Post Posted January 21, 2021 The carbs were full of green gunk. It appears to be corroded brass. Pretty much all of the brasswork in the carbs has been etched. Thank goodness the floats are plastic. I've had this with my kawasaki recently, where the fuel ate pinholes in the floats. Really weird, must be some crazy additive in the fuel. The residue was so difficult to remove. Wouldn't even wire brush off. Degreaser and brake clean did nothing. Turns out good old vinegar works a treat. Leave it to soak, wipe it off with a rag. Who would have thunk. Yum: This was rancid: After a soak in some vinegar: 12 Quote
xsinclairx Posted January 21, 2021 Posted January 21, 2021 Nice! Quite like these bikes. Are you staying red or going to blue? Katie Abdila on insta has a nice tidy one if you’re looking for inspo! Quote
anglia4 Posted January 21, 2021 Posted January 21, 2021 Funny that you are undoing the cafe stuff. I keep looking at my CB650 sitting in the corner and thinking I should put higher bars and a decent seat back on to actually make it worth riding Is this what getting older is? 3 Quote
