It's ALIVE.
Thanks to the Millgrove Magician (if you know, you know), the little CB1 fired up today, after sitting since 2014. So glad.
Fork seals & tires later this week & safety asap after that.
Gettin' itchy.
Huh?.........What?
Carb bits were bathing in an ultrasonic cleaner today, and is all back together on the bench.
For the first time since '14, it might be running tomorrow.......fingers x'd.
Gotta love expert help.
I'm almost ready to insure my barn find.
I've shopped it around & found the best quote coming from TD.(highest from somewhere was $1850/yr)
I'll be 70 next week.
There was about 2L of leftover gas that I removed today, and the petcock was bone dry, and operational.
Tomorrow.....the gas tank gets a soapy bath, rinse and an isopropyl rinse.
I still have some of this from the 90's.....then it became unobtanium for a bit.
I see it's available again. It's very good.
