New air filter is here and I went to install just to find out there is no filter cage or hardware.... Put them on order...

Cleaned up the powervalve and inspected the linkage. Reassembled with light 2T oil.

All buttoned up!

Rebuilt the locked up master cylinder with the new kit. Bled down, and is smooth now. Somehow managed to delete all those pictures... :picard:

I'm up too late apparently... -BIG DAN

Good luck with this one Big D. The inside of the boot going to the carb, is looking mighty dirty. :noidea:

Common for storage when taken apart. I have been wiping everything down... Nothing in the intake or reeds.... carb is cleaned.
New air filter and we're going to keep her clean.

$400 bones is a pretty good deal for that machine. And it appears to be in pretty good shape. With the exception of the missing cross brace on the sub frame. It will server your father for more years than he is able to ride it with you incharge of the maintenance.

The amount of engine oil in the Exhaust has me believing the crank seals are leaking. So I received the LH one and the Flywheel puller!

MY NEW PULLER

FULL OF ENGINE OIL

NEW SEAL

EDIT: I am awaiting on the RH seal in the mail, :wiggle:

When It arrives, we'll actually fix the problem. This LH seal only proved that transmission oil is the issue. Sorry for this misguided post, it was late...

I thought if it was sucking gear box oil it was coming from the right hand side not the left????

That's correct, but USPS has only blessed me with the LH seal at this time... Tuesday, the RH seal shows up and I complete the Crank Seal Task. I'll post up when I get to it! -BIG DAN

Forgive me, It was a late night, last minute post... most of the information was in chat I suppose... Blurry Photos... Not my finest forum moment :picard:

you had me scratchin my head while I was reading that Dan. I am glad you cleared that up, Or I would have walking around for days thinking this one over

Order a case saver for that case Dan, I picked up my 02 for 600.00 because he didn't have one on and the chain became the lashings to the end of his case. Case halves are not cheap, like Rack. :smirk:
