Carb came out and was ultrasonic cleansed, filter cleaned more than should be allowed, timing checked and re-checked.
It should work ? RIGHT? Naaaa. Timing was all over the place. There was NO sweet spot anymore. hmmm
T-Bone, Dave and I were agreeing that the crank had way too much play on the end. Open her on up. more hmmm.
Found some metal shavings, a small round of super hard sealer and what I think is a crank seal popped on the clutch side.
OK, Time to rebuild the whole enchilada and make it all new again.
For a $5 buck bike that was found in a scrap bin, lucky it lasted this long.
Time to split the Cases !!!! ( WHY??? Because Calif Dreamin ride is coming quickly !! )
Side note- ( and BIG thanks to Mark for posting this picture awhile back ) this is what the small round super hard sealant was..
UGH !!!

If you need a set of cases I have several sets I'll probably never need.

I will relay this to Dave ( The owner ) but everything seems cool now. all ready to split the cases after I go to storage in the morning for my splitter and keep all informed.
I have my parts list and some prices, Crank will be shipped off to Bill B.
Barring any major heartache , it may go smoothly..
