About time I started a build thread

[spotty]

Got the sidestand back on

Then it was carb time......bit of WD-40 on the inlet rubbers and on they go, that beats the crap out of trying to get ancient Honda 4 carbs back on. Then......

Hooked the choke cable up and nothing further investigation shows that number 3 carb has a seized up choke plunger.
So off they came, pulled that bit of number 3 apart and gave it some WD-40 loving and left it
If it's not cooperating by tomorrow shall try heat gun persuasion, if that doesn't work then the choke activation slide thing gets bent in such a way that number 3 is out of the equation
There would have been more activity but Mrs spotty came home in a cnut of a mood and consequently has made my life miserable for the rest of the day
AND, I haven't got any beer

I haven't got any beer

That would be the next thing I fixed

After much inactivity the last couple of weeks today I got the choke in number 3 freed up, put all that back together again, hooked the cables up ( throttle cables were a right pain until I worked it out, then of course it all made sense. )
Carbs on and the back half of the airbox , though it's missing some of the screws that hold the two halves together. Should be able to find some at work tomorrow
Chain on and joined with new link which went on easier than any o ring link I've ever encounter before, chain guard on
Rear axle put through from the correct side and all done up though I just remembered I forgot to put the clips in on the ends of the axle
Not much really but some progress none the less
On a positive note, looks like Mrs spotty is going to kick me out of this tree lined hell hole and I might soon be back in suburbia with a proper garage again and no-one to tell me off for drinking beer
Here's hoping anyways

Be nice to see one of an engine strip down and a rebuild. Nothing on YouTube as far as I can see.. I dint have a place or workshop to do it.

Mrs spotty advises me she will be babysitting for most of the weekend so should be able to get some work done without risking the loss of another testicle

Well, she kept her promise and buggered off at lunchtime, unfortunately I celebrated with a large herbal cigarette and went to sleep....

See how we go tomorrow

[spotty]

Dark, wet and miserable today ( and the weather is crap too ) so no activity
going to try taking some panels to work this week so I can get on with prepping them and get paid to do it.....
