I think I found the problem the previous owner was talking about...


I also painted my carb manifolds...



And I got a terrible picture of the 2 carbs I did yesterday...

Changed the exhaust system on the 86A and watched as piles of carpet fibers (mouse nests) blew out of both sides.

The 86A smokes (blue), oil I suspect, when cold, but clears up when warm. Looks like its valve seal time.

58F today, so Spring is still coming.

Installed my new to me fuse box cover after a little modding. $11 on FleaBay and it even came with the fuses and fuse puller on the inside. I also troubleshooted my LEDs that failed catastrophically a few days ago. One of the grounds were loose causing one strip to flicker, and I realized the 5 amp fuse on the fuse box accessory connections was just too low to handle the lights so I put a 10 amp in there and problem solved. The LEDs are the only thing on the accessory circuit so I feel confident in doing so.

This may not be a big deal to most of you out there but it's HUGE for me. I feel like I just fixed the space shuttle. :BigGrin:

Oh look it's dark now, think I'll take a cruze. CeeYa! :moped:

~O~

 

[Mad Dog Tannen]

Nice bike. Did you do all of that polishing? Are the timing belt covers polished I see?

:head bang: Had to pick up the 81. Wind had blown it over onto the yard tractor in the carport. :rant: No harm done to either thankfully. :whistling:

 

[CRAFTMAN6001]

what I did today. Well not much really. :lazy: After working late last night I'm just to tired today. i did get down to horbor freight and pick up a few things tho. There is a Meguiars 83 Dual action cleaner and polish that I'm really liking. It did a great job cleaning up the marring marks in the aluminum. I use this in steps with a few other things. I got the polishing wheels kit that comes with the compound and it worked very well. a polishing wheel per compound all the way to the Meguiars foam pad kit. here is a couple pictures of the progress.

Weatheer finally started to get warm... installed the heads and replaced the camshft seals on the left side. Tomorrow, rear case gasket, stator wires, and new wires for the C-5.

Wiring day today! I found something interesting, it looks like the main fuse is blown. The connector was completely melted to the fuse.

But I mainly replaced the wiring conduit today...



Main wiring harness...
