Just a good warm up. Would only run on full choke and the Shop was beginning to fog up with fuel and Marvel in the cylinders.  :o  This will be done however.

Ran a little 110 octo fuel in the tank and swished around a bit. Wanted to make sure nothing leaked before adding the Evapo Rust.

I'll let the tank air then tomorrow start the soak.  ;)

Light Shop day today. Still soaking tank. Looking much better going on a 25 hour soak. Had to clean out the Tundra as it sold yesterday. Have to change my user name if that's possible.  ::)

Wanted to remove the carburetors and run them down to Harris Motors. I suppose I could clean them up pretty good but soaking is better.





New kits, of which I just use gaskets and O rings etc. No jets, emulsion tubes.

I don't know about anyone else, but for me all I see is a link under a giant blank space where the vid should be. Fortunately click on the link and you get the video.

You're CB160's are in such better condition than mine -- the benefit of being in the South West.
