I am still making progress on this bike but I have
some questions.
#1 The throttle is stiff and hard to twist.
New cable did not help. The throttle snaps back
strong but is hard to twist, the springs on the carbs are
strong, is this normal???
#2 I replaced the power chamber/collector box or whatever
you want to call it. How hot does that thing get??? Is 1200f
paint good enough for it?? anyone have decent heat shields for
that box??? I know, a lot of guys dump the collector box and
air box but I want to avoid unnecessary problems.
#3 Still looking for a seat and tail light. I think I may re-cover
the seat and go with that for now.
#4 I am rebuilding the brake caliper, what grease should I
use for the sliders and boots???
Got to pull the carbs again, left side overflowing and running
on the right side only. This thing will run and be ridden soon,
I do not quit when I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.
I guess running on 1 cylinder is some light???
