Carbs are off. I should have time this weekend to tackle this.

I did go ahead and added the atf / acetone in spark plug holes but it just came out the exhaust manifold ( I have the muffler off) will have to find a way to plug that. Would u put the mixture in the engine as well?

Soaking in mm oil. Will try again tomorrow

Surprise surprise! Engine is locked up.

Think I’m good. Maybe just some condensation after 8 years. Oil is black 😀🙏

Thank you for checking on this. The shift lever is wobbly and will check it. Also, I have set the beemer aside for now as I just started a goldwing rebuild. Thanks again

Problem.... went to drain oil and some water came out first. Don’t believe it’s coolant as I checked the radiator and it’s full. This bike has been sitting outside and not used for 8 years. What’s the explanation of the water , probably around a cup then oil started draining.

I keep coming back to Goldwings! Picked this up for dirt cheap. Been sitting for 8 years. This is one of the roughest ones I’ve ever had to restore. Will be a nice winter project. Bike came with all the plastics ... spent the day tearing her down. Here we go! 83 aspencade

I think I have the clutch cable adjustment pretty close now. She’s shifting much better. 2nd problem..... my front tire is bouncing. The tire appears in good shape but shows it’s 9 years old. Also, the lines on the sidewalls close to the wheel rim appear a little off, so..... wheel or tire might...

Some great knowledgeable and helpful people here and would like to see if you can figure this out. My apologies as this is regarding a 1978 bmw r100/7 airhead. I can shift up just fine but not down unless I shift slightly up then down. I have set the clutch cable to spec and still no luck. Any...

This has to be one of my most favorite builds. Still lacking quite a bit of work to complete but loving every minute of it.

This is what it is: RYANSTAR Universal 2.5L Water Coolant Expansion Overflow Water Tank Reservoir Complete Header kit Aluminium Alloy Silver (Polished) The cap is a pressure cap. I'm thinking this might work as a gas tank. I'm assuming I just connect a small fuel hose to the vent and route...

Small gas tank pic

Just hear me out. I know this makeshift gas tank is very small but there is a method to my madness. My question though is ..... I attached this to the frame therefore I’m assuming it’s safe( grounded) It has no electrics in it anyway. Also, the spout by the gas cap, do I plug that off or run a...

I figured it out. Headlight is working now. I’m sure I will have more questions down the road. Thanks again Dan for taking the time to help me. Have a blessed day.

No high beam/ low beam switch. With this being just an on/off switch, I'm thinking just hook one blue wire from switch to a power source (blue/white wire) and the other blue switch wire to the high beam wire on the headlight.

Just 2 . the 2 blue wires go to a push in, push out headlight button . I believe its just an on/off button download/file.php?id=21570&t=1

With that being said, I guess I connect the blue/white to either connector on the aftermarket switch? There are just 2 connectors on aftermarket switch, coupled with a low or high beam wire from headlight.

Turn signal wiring to aftermarket switch is working and even have original buzzer working as well. Now I thought I had the headlamp to aftermarket switch figured out but......not working. I turn on the ignition and press aftermarket switch and nothing, unless the headlight only comes on after...

Clutch switch wires , one is green/ red stripe and one is just solid green. Can I just wire these together and not connect to clutch switch? Or should I connect them to aftermarket switch and if so, where?
