Hi. I just purchased my first SOHC4 (a non-runner to be delivered this week) and most of my 'how to' google searches pointed me to this forum. I'm excited and a little nervous about wrenching on this scooter since my experience is limited to passing tools to my stepfather, who was usually swearing at a small block chevy engine.
I plan on taking lots of pics and documenting every step of the way, so I hope I can contribute as much as I take away.
For starters, I'm documenting everything I purchase (at inflated DC prices) and everything I want in a nice little spreadsheet. Hopefully it will be useful to others down the line as it's already quite extensive and organized by task (probably a little too organized).
I few things I have lined up in the coming weeks:
1. Clean out rusty gas tank
2. Clean carbs
3. Oil change
4. Battery and spark plug install
5. Rebuild front caliper
Sounds pretty basic to most, I'm sure. But I'm a rookie, so it's all fairly new to me.
Cheers and cold beers,
Mike
