    Hey there! Just a quick update. Haven’t posted in a while.
    I found a donor for the conversion. ‘82 650G. She was barely running when I got it. Carbs were nasty. Here’s a quick look at the carb rebuild here:

    This is what I started with.


    Here's #1


    Two down, the rest to go.



    Still trying to figure out an easy way to post images too.

    Thanks for checking in!

      You already have an Imgur account. Follow the instructions I’ve written, linked in my signature.

        By gum! I think I found it!

        Let's test this out.
        I had to do a little digging to find the "BB Code" Link because I'm very new to Imgur.

        Thank you.

                Thank you very much! I appreciate the compliment!

                I’d like to say it was easy, but it took some time with the right tools. I’ll try to post a picture of what I’m using.
                Essentially a cheap ultrasonic cleaner, degreaser, brushes, and a Dremel with a few different wire brushes.
