Little bit of wiggling, little bit of pushing, lot of dead blow mallet, and the exhaust is back together. I cannot for the life of me get the...
Yerp - just trying to get it positioned so it’s pushed upwards and not pushing the whole bike up [IMG] -Ed 1972 CL350 1985 VF700F
I wound up lining it all up and lifting - I could feel it pop in as the bolts tightened up, so I suppose it sits against the pan in use. The...
Oil pan didn’t look half bad. No big chunks, no ferrous metal in the oil. Some sludge on the bottom, and e strainer was in the bottom of the pan -...
Looking back - yes you did! Oil pan will drop tonight and we’ll see what if anything is hiding out in there. First oil change I found some...
Like they’re glued. I had to chisel away at the graphite gaskets stuck inside the collector and eventually took a small flap wheel to them...
Nevermind. I was being dramatic. They’re off. Removed the rear peg bracket - pushed them up down all around harder than I thought I’d need to,...
I know it’s been awhile - focused on the 350. I’m convinced someone epoxied the mufflers on at some point - have a ratchet strap on them and they...
I’ve put about enough miles on the bike now to get a good feel for it, sitting right around 19,000 on the ODO. I also did the CLR flush. This is...
Aha. I actually found a video of a cold start, complete with lots of footage of the ground while I try and point the mic. Walks from left side...
Put about 400 miles on it this weekend to, from, and in rural PA. [IMG] Will post up a link to some videos, unfortunately most of the audio is...
How tight do you try and get them? If I’m reading these right, the rear right is furthest out at -45mmhg from the base carb. Spec was 60 iirc...
Take one of carb synch. Before: [IMG] After: [MEDIA] I can get it closer, but I want to get the pilots set just right, have the idle where I...
I’ve got to imagine whatever’s in the radiator is indicative of what’s in the engine. Something’s gotta be flushed through, but yes - if all else...
The autofocus didn’t pick it up well, but all that white deeper in the rad are little crystals. Before I do anything I’ll stick a borescope in...
[IMG] Keeps temp fine while moving, but it does come up quick when in traffic/stopped. -Ed 1972 CL350 1985 VF700F
All this time and I never looked inside the rad. This thing seems like it needs a good cleaning. What have people done here - just a...
Success! Bike starts strong, doesn’t die when I give it throttle before it’s super warm anymore. Still need to tune everything but it runs...
Made off of this highly detailed sketch: [IMG] Easiest bet is just to bring the linkage to a machinist, or a friend with a lathe and have them...
[IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] Ta-da. No slop, the linkage is tight. I’ll add any other hardware as needed but I’m well happy with it. 4mm ream on...
