SUCCESS! I yanked the carb off this morning and tore it part. I was a little worried cause it was actually pretty clean, no sludge. First though was something else is wrong:doah: But I found that the main and idle jets were both closed up so bad it took more than a few trys to get the gum out. I let it soak for awhile when I started to reassemble I also found the float had a hole in one side, I was able to solder that up though. Reinstalled and she fired right up!:thumbsup: Lights are working..pretty much, Horn weezed a little, speedo works. Runs through the gears easy and and no slipping, no funny noises or smoke out of the motor.
It was pretty dam loud though, The front mount for the main heatsheild wraps around the pipe with a rubber type spacer. The pipe was noting but swiss cheese underneath:doah: I went ahead and cut the section right out of the pipe:
I scrounged around to find a piece of tubing that I could slip over to make a spacer. I found this bar thing that adjusts that you use in the truck bed to secure cargo was just right. So I cut a piece of it off (no big deal, its for my wifes truck :wink
I just installed it and fired the bike up to see if it was going to leak just hammered on and also if a spot on the bottom of the pipe that has some rust was going to leak. Yes on both counts so I'll need to weld the patch section to the muffler side and also grind out that rust spot and weld that hole. The guard actually covers that entire area and the guard mount will be centered on the patch so it won't look bad.
Now I can move forward and start cleaning it!
Jesse I could probably use that flywheel cover, I need to di out my Honda parts but I am pretty sure all mine are the standard z50 style where that is one with the entire sidecover. PM me and let me know what you are wanting for it, thanks!
