[QUOTE="Bug, post: 149862, member: 3940"] Thanks again for the welcomes! Ok, continuing with the story. I did a "quick" run thru the carbs and fuel pump, and replaced the fuel lines and filter as they all were full of rust. I got a couple hex cap screws and drilled a hole down the middle with my cordless. Two out of four ain't too bad for free handing that kinda job right? I used the drilled screws with a long length of clear tubing pressed over the heads of the screws, slung over the mirrors and with about 3 feet of water in the middle of it to balance the carbs. Oh! and a pair of vise-grips in the middle almost pinching it closed to even the pulses out and give me more time to kill the engine if something went wrong! That had the engine running fairly smooth. I changed the timing belts, coolant, and oil. checked the water pump (old brown, but the bearings felt tight). I went to work on some cosmetics, namely the old seat: [GALLERY=media, 26475][/GALLERY] Foam and vinyl gone, ugly rustyness underneath: [GALLERY=media, 26476][/GALLERY] After fair bit of time with the wire wheel, Shiney!: [GALLERY=media, 26477][/GALLERY] A quick coat of paint to help protect the metal: [GALLERY=media, 26478][/GALLERY] I kinda like the red with the yellow...
