Months of waiting have come to an end (well kind of). It?s alive again. After ordering one part after another and still keeping the checkbook straight my parts bike runs.
It?s been a job with no time to work on it just to have it run.
I must have put $700 in parts.
It started with a jacked up side stand (1 side stand)
3 seized mixture screws (1 mixture screw and 2 carb bodies)
Dried out carb plugs (4 new carb plugs)
Rusted exhaust (1 new Gemini header system and 4 120 main jets)
Gas filled oil (4 float needles and 2 petcock o-rings)
No air filter (UNI filter)
Leaking drain screw (1 oil pan and gasket)
Spring in oil pan (clutch basket and hub)
GK tank on GL (GL gas tank)
Lawnmower key switch (new key switch)
1000L side covers (1100GL side covers)
Broken tach cable (tach cable)
Jacked up Honda seat (new seat cover but no pan yet)
Dragging front brakes (new brake pads on way)
Got some cam walk ticking and primary gear chuckle at idle but revs good and strong. A valve adjustment and new brake pads then it is time for some paint.
