Fitted Exy's cable kit today, guess what the old lady burst into life, happy days. Will probably pull the motor out now and get it cleaned and painted.
Bet you're happy. The most similar happy I had was my first "motorbike" a Suzuki 50 non-runner/unknown runner for £5. It came without a kickstart, had an automatic clutch but you couldn't bump start it like you could a Honda 50. When I realised this I coughed up for the k/start lever and waited for a week or so while it was posted from the main Suzuki distributors in Poole, it cost more than the motorbike. I didn't expect it to work but it went within a few kicks.
Managed a couple of hours again today, great being retired. Nearly ready to attempt dropping the motor out . Loads of cable ties snipped , airbox, and carbs off, drained the oil and bunged up the orifices.
What's the reason for the hose clamp? Stopping fuel from the carbs? If you are going to strip the carbs, don't forget the tiny filter in the T piece between the carbs. Looks like you need some new rubber manifold connectors.
Clamping hydraulic fluid for clutch slave, carbs are going to be left alone it runs fine, carb connectors are fine no signs of being perished.
Have you got a broken frame PB or is it meant to be like that? First pic, far side, where it extends under where the seat would be. Also, where’s it been that the engine is that corroded?
In the photo the right hand carb rubber appears to either have an internal split or there is a chunk missing from the sealing ring.
The engine is out and about an hour with wire brushes and scrapers is looking much better already. You hawk-eyes must have wank-eyes frame and carb rubbers are fine, leave the tadger alone. Seriously though thanks for the input at nearly 70 i am bound miss something one day. Tea break.
Here's an update, with also a request, can anyone help with a pair of top inner timing belt covers mine are kettled.
You and me both, so if I can see something in what would be the left hand carb rubber (right one in the photo) with my bad eyes..........
apologies might be due, i will check again tomorrow , the cave is on shutdown now, tee hee, thanks Arquebus.
Regarding inner timing belt covers, I haven’t got any Tony, they are nearly always perished and distorted.
