Every once in a while a challenge rolls into the shop. I wrote about a bike with a rusty tank a few days ago. Well it took about 10 cycles through the sonic cleaner to get the carbs good and clean. A few parts and then I reassembled them and bench tested them for proper float adjustment and for leaks. The overflow for #3 leaked, the brass tube was split, I removed it and replaced it, installed the carbs and TAH DAH, it ran. Jorge came by and picked it up later so he could do some riding this weekend.
The next project for this bike is going to be a complete rebuild and then transformed into a cafe racer, scheduled to be started this winter.
