[QUOTE="City Hunter, post: 1263493, member: 84517"] actually good stuff. I tore most of the bike down and removed all the electrical minus the wire for the coil the other day. Also wirewheeled the bike and patched a hole in the exhaust and did some painting. It already looks 1000 times ebtter, but unfortunately after draining the milk out of the transmission and then redraining it after putting a new quart in. The bike is passing a ton of transmission oil into the cylinder and out of the exhaust. It will fire up and run so so, but I gotta figure out where the oil is coming from. I have no diagram of this engine so im not to familiar with what it looks like underneath. I found a thread about someone else talking aboutt his and someone had said it could be the crank seals? Which makes since to me since someone ibviously drove this thing through water or dumped it in water. I'm hoping there is something I can do without dropping much money into the engine. Other than that, I cleaned thet ank out, pretty nasty, wirewheeled both fenders down to metal, banged out some dents, and scuffed up the paint ont he tank, and spent a a few hours painting it. I experimented with some metalic silver and a clear yellow, but it turned out like crap, and I thought it looked so good as the metalic silver that I just stripped everything back down, and redoing it in silver with a clear. I also need to go through the carb. It was pretty gummed nasty. I did a quicky clean just to see if it would start, which it did, but gas is just dripping out fo the overflow so I guess the float isnt working right. Gonna have to go through it a little better next time. by the way, great information on the forks and wheel. Any idea if a late model engine say 78 or 79 will bolt into the chassis? I'm 99% sure the engine had a ct1 on it. Shaun [/QUOTE]
