I read the forums all the time but seldom post. I thought I would snap a few pics of my build and share with the community.
Here is how the project has been so far:
When I bought it the previous owner did not tighten down the centrifical oil filter bolt and I lost all oil pressure to the top end.....burned up the cam. With the help of a kind fellow on another forum, I rebuilt it.
Here is what I have done
honed cylinders
new rings
NOS cam and cam bearings
new gaskets
carb rebuild
new oil filter and end cap (old one had been grinded down)
GALLONS or carb cleaner and engine degreaser
ran great but currently it's running on one cylinder...grrrrr
Most of the work has been cleaning it up....she was a dirty girl
The exhaust and handle bars are not permanent, and will be changed.
