Fairing Lowers not yet installed but went for a test drive anyway! Running good, idling smooth. -

Started on the valve adjust odyssey Dec 2. Finally got 'er back together and rode Big Red last weekend. Most of the time working on the bike was cleaning up the grime under the tank (air intake, carbs, valve covers, plumbing). Apparently PO habitually kept the crankcase overfull of oil. After carb sync the engine idles pretty smooth - always pulled strong though, even before the carb sync. Next project probably the rear shock fix. Then front brake (not a smooth pull, kind of binds, then finally lets go and then you're braking too hard). -

Bike was running well before removal so decided to not disassemble carbs. Used old toothbrush, paper towels, and Simple Green to break down and remove grease and grime. -

Used RTV in lieu of new O rings. Note Allen Head screws instead of Phillips Head for the carb clamps. Thanks ACE Hardware! -
