So Sunday was bloody hot, but a whole day free to work on the bike.
I took the engine out the other day and popped it on the work bench to check the engine cover gaskets, I think they are sorted now.
I've been searching for a new engine but as the search has not come up with any thing for the time being we will carry on working with the CB engine.
Popped the engine back in and made up a couple of new rear engine mounts to hold her steady
Carbs are in a bad way so I started to give then a clean and then a soak in some vinegar which as you can imagine made every thing smell like a local chippy. the jets were blocked and I think that must be the only thing stopping her fire as I've checked every thing millions of time. fingers crossed.
Whilst the carbs are soaking I took of the back wheel to drill in to the frame to make up some mounts for the electrics box. broke a couple of drill bits, swore alot. finally got the holes in and also tided up the mud guard bolts
Back to the engine, Carbs are in place all looking clean. jets unblocked.
Checked she is sparking (hope I plugged in the coils the right way round) I have no petrol left and the sun has killed me so I'm calling it a day for now. next stop petrol station and see if she fires up.
