New Non-KX Project
umberto:
I actually have a Harbor Freight compression tester. I take it with me on all my "Redneck Rescue" buys. It can be really handy for sure!
umberto:
Good call on the compression test Sandblaster. It was only holding 30 PSI. My dad is an old hot rodder, and suggested putting a little oil in the cylinder to lubricated the valves and seats and got it to 60-70 PSI. I got the gas tank back from my dad today, so I should be able to try starting it with real petrol instead of ether. I'm hoping 60 is enough to get it running long enough to get the valves warmed up and seating better. I'll keep you posted.
umberto:
Got my tank back from the painter. So shiny... 8-)
sandblaster:
Looks great....
umberto:
I got the tank mounted and the OEM fenders installed. All I have left to do is paint the wheels and install the new tires.
Unfortunately, the bike does not want to start even with real gas. Does anyone know of a good place to send four stroke motors for repair? I haven't heard good things about my local Honda dealer.
