Hi,
The job of getting my benly up and running has now begun. First I had the small job of giving the 125cc barrels a going over with the wire brush, they will later be re-bored and some new sleeves put in them, and some nice race spec pistons for them
.
On sunday we had it up on on the bench for an inspection, with it being sat in the back of the garage for 10yrs it needed it. Sam and my dad chris had to pull the 150cc motor out from when my dad rode it previously. Whilst I was making the old front rim shine (a little bit more than it did. lol).
The benly has now got a list of jobs;
1. strip down 150 motor as I will be using the bottom end of it with a close ratio gearbox.2. do away with the headlight housing on the pressed steel forks.
3. build new engine up : new barrel on, cylinder head on, etc.
4. fit ign and wiring.
5. fit scitsu rev counter
6.
paint the megaphones (which I previously sanded down to remove rust) with high temp matt black paint.
7.
Media blast parts; barrel, head, crankcases, various other parts.This thread will see us through this small project. I will keep updating it from time to time.
And I will upload some pictures.
Ben
