I pushed it for miles
called on to man up to what I said I would have to say bust away my friend.. :) lol. the carb now appears to be puking fuel so clearly I did a half baked job. I took it off the bike, used carb cleaner, sprayed the heck out of it and every nook and cranny but never did a 100% dismantle. I did drop the bowl and cleaned it well but I never took it down to the sum of the parts. Once sparyed down I let it sit for a few minutes and then cleaned what I could see by hand and air hose. I was afraid to go any further for fear of letting the adjustments get away from me on such an old weapon. do you think bowl off and sitting in a vat will clean it good, or will it have to come to a total dismantle? I'm now of the mind that it and the bike gets a total tear down.. I have the idea that I want to convert it to 12 and flat black it...later tonight I am going to strip it down in the shed and the move it in to the basement for a winter project. A carb scares me but the rest don't. life teaches us that the fast answer is never the right answer... thanks for the input guys... I will make some updated posts I'm sure as I restore this steed to its glory. |
