Re: Resurrecting my baby from her deep sleep

BTW, I will try to split off your postings now as this thread will get too confusing with two bikes. Thanks. I cleaned all the contacts along the wiring harness, but I've yet to get into the handlebar switches. I'll try that next. With regards to the key, could it still be the cause of no spark if ...

Re: Resurrecting my baby from her deep sleep

Welcome here! :D For the ignition problem, start with cleaning up all related cables and contacts. As long as you have problems with the ignition lock switch, don't expect reliable operation either. Probably you need to open and clean the ignition switch from inside. I strongly recommend that becau...

Re: Is there any saving this fuel tank?

You are correct that I have no welding skills. I did not want to waste that tank because, other than what you see on the bottom, the tnk looks great.

If the JB Weld works, I was intending to use a tank sealant on it as well.

Re: Is there any saving this fuel tank?

Here's what I'm trying. I got some JB Weld, but the holes are too big so the stuff just drips inside. I've shored up the holes with little wire mesh, and applied JB Weld on top of the mesh. I'll keep you posted.

Re: Carb inlet replacemnt "T's" source??

Is there a way to install this without separating the carbs? My Clymer manual does not even tell how to do this, it only recommends leaving separation of 1/2 and 3/4 to the experts.

Did you have a chance to try the aquarium equipment solution yet? I am in the market for a pair of those T's myself.

Re: Resurrecting my baby from her deep sleep

Thanks for the answers! When I asked similar questions about a lawn mower I was trying to fix, I got a lot of, "Go buy a new mower" responses. Granted, that was on Facebook, not a mower forum. Volker_P: How do I get the ignition lock switch off? onepieceatatime: No one that I'm aware of wi...

Re: Resurrecting my baby from her deep sleep

I almost forgot! There is some kind of short in the ignition key component. I only get power when I wiggle the key just right. Clymer make no mention whatsoever about how to access this component. Any ideas?

Resurrecting my baby from her deep sleep, Folsoml's bike

If you are resurrecting your's from a deep sleep, I am (trying) to bring mine back from the dead. Let me tell you my story: I recently discovered that I find inner peace working in my garage. I restored a couple of old bicycles and a lawn mower, but wanted to try something bigger. I decided to try a...
