Went On A Run A Couple Of Weekends Ago And On Sunday Morning I Was Halfway To My Second Run Of The Weekend And I Noticed The Sweet Smell Of Burning Antifreeze. Looked Down And The Left Exhaust Pipe Was Clear, Looked To The Right One And A Cloud. Called Frenchy And Ordered A Top End Kit, And Trailered The Bike Home.
Day One, Received The Kit From Frenchy, Complete Top End Kit.
Put The Bobber On The Lift Table And Strapped It Down.
Time To Start Removing All The Parts; Crash Bars, Exhaust, Air Box, Glove Box, Drain Oil.
Now I Am Not As Bad As Octane, Not That That Is A Bad Thing, But I Still Like Some Organization. I Number The Intake Runners And Spark Plugs. All The Carb Bolts Go Into The Same Baggie. Same With Everything I Remove. Everything Has A Group And A Parts Baggie.
Remove The Carb Rack. Remember The Air Cut Off Valve Has To Be Removed For It To Fit Out Of The Frame. Drain The Coolant. Remove The Fuel Pump, The Points/Electronic Ignition And Housing.
Remove The Radiator And Fan As One Unit, Hoses, And All.
Remove The Timing Covers, And The Valve Covers, Rotate The Engine Till The Timing Marks On The Cam Pulleys Match And The Crank Is At Top Dead Center. Refer To Your Manual On The Exact Procedure.
Thats It For One Night.
Next Will Be The Final Disassembly Of The Heads.
First Nights Parts Bin.
More To Come....
