    once it's on and baked nothing takes it off, stripper, brake fluid, gas, i tried it all. mine were just done with a wire brush, your looks more like the blasted surface they want for adhesion

    polock, which of their products have you used?

    I picked up another set of carbs today. they cost me less than the first set and came with a few extra parts...

    sadly it looks like the carbs and front tire are the only viable bits here, outside of various nuts and bolts. considering their unavailability, I am hoping the exhaust collector is in usable condition to be saved as a spare.

    Wow quite a haul of extras there! :) Can't complain huh? Is the frame bent/rotten/titled? Engine seized?

    If it was me, I couldn't help thinking about making it into another bike! hardtail starting point methinks... 8)

    What made the p/o cut the frame and wheel up though? (are they cut, or crashed/snapped?) 8O

    unfortunately the engine sat outside in the rain long enough to seize it up. and it appears the previous owner had a crack problem. he took a sawsall to it thinking he would build a bobber. not too sure why he cut the rear wheel and swing arm up.

    Has anyone tried boiling gummed up carbs in lemon juice? I believe there is a article by Evan Fell that does it and describes in detail how. I cann't remember all of it, but interesting reading.
