RD350LC Project

You can get everything here, that you get in the UK, except that wet fog.

 

Ha, Ha! wasn't sure (Although I know there is a "Cadbury world" in NZ)

Some years ago a friend was holidaying in the states when a fellow tourist spied they eating a Cadburys choc bar. "Where did you get that?" they asked.."We brought it with us" came the reply.......

Don't get too much wet fog in East Anglia

 

well, its all together,again, but it wont start, has spark, timing done , thought i got carbs close enough to start but doesnt seem to be getting any fuel, anyway will play with a bit more and see if itwants to go.

 

Nice job Kenny! Ring a ding ding zoommmmmm

 

Nice Job! Good luck

 

You must be hanging out to hear that fire up Ken, good job mate, enjoyed watching your work.

 

thanks fellas, sure am hanging out to get it going, will have another look shortly

 

well its finally running, wont idle but smooth from 2000rpm+ , no more water,fuel or oil leaks, but is leaking around the exhaust where it joins the barrells, will play around with idle sometime today and try to sort, forgot how mean these things sound, was very excited when it started, ken

 

gday, well it idles ok now ,rode it up and down the street and i have to say its got more get up and go down low than what i thought it would have, a bit more fine tuning, check bolts etc, general safety going over and thats about it, very happy over all, thanks

 

Glad to hear it Ken,see you both on the road one day.

 

Congratulations on a really, really nice build! Long live the two strokes!!
You did one heck of a nice job on it!!

Hello!

I am currently restoring a 1981 RD350LC. Where did you purchase the stainless steel head bolts for you RD? I have been looking around on the internet and have not had any luck finding any. The head bolts on your RD look awesome. I would like to purchase a set like the ones you have. Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks.

 

I forgot to mention it in my previous post. Your RD looks great. You did an outstanding job on the restore! Hope mines turns out this nice.
