[QUOTE="nobog, post: 1475766, member: 145774"] So… that just about wraps this one up, I need some new rear brake shoes as the travel is all used up but that’s no big deal. A few items if anyone is considering such a project: [LIST] [*]Assume that the guy selling the thing is lying – it will be in much worse shape than he will ever say. [*]Check eBay or some on-line parts stores for part availability before you buy, a good item to check is the carb intake boot – those kinds of rubber parts will always crack and many replacements are long gone. OEM body parts are rare also. [*]Don’t be afraid to order from overseas – lots of these weird parts are actually available from Thailand but go through eBay. [*]Everything takes longer and cost more than you originally thought – that’s just a fact of life and applies perfectly to an endeavor like this. (this took almost 5 months – and I’m retired!) [*]Never, ever, tell your girlfriend or spouse how much you spend on these things – this is self explanatory. [/LIST] Fill the tranny and put some premix in and it fires right up in 3-4 half hearted kicks, settles into an idle and I am all set.
