Gotta pull the carbs off, but there is signs of water getting in

If a cylinder is hydro locked, pulling the plugs will release the pressure and it should turn over.

Im getting excited about it, i might try to get it to turn over while im waiting on the gaskets for suzi II. I got it home today and my tool box is home finally!!!!!

Where was your tool box?

[thebrandonbeezy]

In storage, after i left the dealer i had no where to put it

These sort of engines with downward facing carbs and fuel pumps can very easily fill a cylinder with fuel if the float valves wear out or get crap in them.

Pull the plugs and see if it will turn over as a first port of call.

Thats the plan after work, if not, gonna pop the head off and fill them with oil

I had a C1 for a decade or so. Personally I wouldn't have touched that bike. Clean running examples trade for $2K. 2nd gear was weak in them and tended to go out around 30K even if when a bike was not abused. The CV diaphragms and slides are integrated and cost $100+ each to replace. I went to flat slides to solve the problem. I would suspect the head gasket let go and the engine seized. Water in the oil and sitting would mean every bearing needs to be replaced, plus ....Do a detailed inventory of everything the bike is going to need in parts and you are sure to be over $1K. This exercise will also show you have easy it is to get that number over $2K.

Got the motor freed up. There is a roll pin that is supposed to lock the ignition timing plate in place which had sheared causing it to not run. Im assuming its why my buddy got it for free a few years back..
Here is the damage he caused.. LOL
1,2,3 can be honed. 4, im not so sure about. That waits till monday. Well, maybe. I gotta pick up the gaskets for suzi II tomorrow after work.

Im considering the 1109 kit and doing the balance shaft delete, which draws its oil from number 3 rod bearing. Gotta balance out the whole rotating assembly after that. Bike isnt as bad as previous thought.

Well that's good news.
