If all goes well, I am purchasing that same exact bike in NC this weekend.
I was wondering, I notice more experienced folk move around the bike and may have several mini-projects underway as they wait for parts, etc. As first-timer, you think it would be smart for me to focus on one thing until complete? Carbs, wheels, electrical, etc.?
Also, the ole ATF to free a seized engine. Is that added after draining what oil may be in there first or as an additive?
Fezz - The single most important thing for anyone (Newbie or Old Pro) is to
stay organized. If you document what you are doing, old parts to be serviced or replaced, while you work on them, you can attack multiple mini tasks while you wait on services or parts to show up. Of course, space, time and money all play important factors in that too.
If your engine is stuck, add the ATF/Acetone mix directly through the plug holes. It won't take much, maybe a few ounces only since you are filling up the combustion chambers and likely 2 of the 4 pistons are at or near TDC. Leave the engine oil in tact. Drain the whole thing afterwards and replace the oil filter.
