Reminds me of the story of the yuppie moto newb who brought his 'American motorcycle' in for service because it had suddenly started to run poorly. After half an hour the mechanic came back with 4 words, "sh!t in the tank" handed him his keys and bill and started to walk away. The newb had to stop him and ask, "how often?"

Space in my garage is at a premium, but the benefits of a mobile fuel source are obvious.


If space and/or money is an issue then this is my "solution".

Somebody tried to stop a leak with lead. I guess it didn’t stick...
Just noticed you said it floated...  maybe not lead then :)

Roby446 - Pretty clear now it's just a very thick buildup of sealer.  As you can see, it had a strange pitted surface.  After cutting through it, there were similar air pockets throughout the material.  I'm guessing this is why, despite its thickness, it floated!  Hoping this is where the weirdness ends with this rebuild!  Makes for a good story at least.

 I found seeds in a 750 engine cylinder once when I tore it down for repair after it had sat out of the frame in a guys basement and then my shop for quite awhile  ;D

You could have grown the seeds. Maybe small Hondas after a while! ;)
