I stripped the tank and found a hole

I will have to solder it.

On related topic, what is your prefered body filler? I mean auto body, not bacon, biscuits and gravy.

Mhmmm bacon....

MauiK3 · « **Reply #427 on:** May 10, 2022, 08:05:30 AM »

Maybe braze it or use silver solder?

Working on the tank, the deer imprint is filled in and now it is the primer/sanding/primer/sanding....

Not sure what color I will go with and if I want to paint the Don Vesco fairing the same.

I will second that!

Valves. Cleaned and polished.

Trying. She is boxed for too long already. Lapped valves for #1 and set oil there to check.

Well done! Ahead of me, still waiting for my head from vapour blasting!

Twelve hours later. There was not a single drop after 3 hours. I wonder if the colder night had anything to do with it. Not a big deal, I will revisit 2,3 and 4 with fine lapping compound.

Now, the head is easy, but I still don't know what to do about cylinders and pistons/rings.

What was the red liquid? Did it stay thin?
If so, seems that you are in good shape.

ATF, thinnest oil I had.

Gasoline works too, plus it will stay thin as the temperature goes down.

I would not leave gas like this over night.

I use a bit of varsol. It’s so thin, I only wait a few minutes. If it doesn’t leak, pour it into a bowl and test the next one.

Same idea with gasoline, late 60's and 70's that was what I used before I got into 2- strokes.

70CB750 · « **Reply #444 on:** January 27, 2023, 06:01:17 PM »

Little bit more lapping, tested with rubbing alcohol and not a single drop in two hours. Done with that one, now what?

jgger · « **Reply #445 on:** January 27, 2023, 06:31:20 PM »

Well I would say that is tight! Good job, give yourself a pat on the back.

That's given

But what am I going to do about cylinders and pistons, that is the question.
