Field notes from my long gone pipe dream of a simple carb clean on a non runner…
1. Getting the battery tray, horn and oil tank out was about the same as solving a Rubik's Cube. Patience my son…
2. Top rear tab on oil tank sheared and rubber mount trashed. Need to search here for mods.
3. Rear ISO slid out in my hand. I think it's bad - and I think I heard it say "you will experience pain in the future.."
4. Swing arm movement definitely due to bushing play. Will do the threaded rod and washer thing.
5. Patina vs. powder coat? I really don't want to do the full monty on the frame. Touch up? Powder coat the center stand?
6. Made another "Norton tool" by cutting down a wrench to remove the lower left rear shock against the chain guard.
7. Trying to stay original and debating reinstall of the oil cooler on the frame just below the front ISO.
Opinions, encouragement appreciated! Just hope I can remember how to put it back together.
Cheers,
Andy
