Will it start.?...............

Working on a C90 I picked up the other day,so far 2 rear indicators are off (gave me a chance to empty out the ?water???. ).,stems are a bust.but indicators rescueable.?.
Leg-shields are off for breathing space and to have a better gander.bit dirty/but easyily fixed later.,tryed seeing if a miracle might happen when I put a screwdriver on the side of the ignition switch,to stop it rotating/so I could hold it still to put in on position......it kicks over fine,but just as well I DID have shields off - cause petrol pipe had been cut short and plugged with a bolt..
I DO HAVE A SPARK.!!!!!!!!,though weak,have'nt checked battery or carb yet,thinking of cutting fresh piece of pipe/throw in a couple of mikalors.....
gonna drain oil 1st/leave for a few hours +at the same time poor a little petrol into tank+a cpla nuts.bolts.
So,just change plug,drain oil,back in a couple of hours.mk.

Hear YE .!. - Hear YE .!. ,

As of 10:00 of the a.m. in the morning,
Yon noble C90........gushie moment..

RUNS..........AND,wait for it......RIDES!!!! .
(see if I can post 1-2 clips.?,have u-tube ( "It RUNS!!!!!!" + "It RIDES!!!!" just uploaded (i think?)mk.

 

No allowed extension.fekkk.

 

Almost swallowed my roll-up,trying to use the front brake.......

 

Leg-shields came up sweet.,not a crack anywhere,minor blemishes/solid,even age related crazing is limited to a couple of "'s at the base of the centre of .,have a stainless mounting set (bolts,etc.), ready to re-fit.
Frame is solid,brass brushed bits of rust and paint off...bit of further cleaning/bit of rust treatment,sorted.!.
Started it up again,after a light clean -
It said hello,then told me to f...off,seems i've oversized replacement petrol pipe slightly and it was leaking slightly -
That's it for this week,it's parked up now,under cover,tucked in till next weekend (which i've off ).,

 

Crunched some figures.?. -
reckon £175.00 to get it MOT'd + insured inc.parts(stems/battery/rust proofer/bulbs/cables/brake shoes).....see how it goes,see if that's a viable } sat..........?.

 

Ooops.!.let's say £200,forgot the tax/kebab/6-pack.!!..

 

........an I was trying to keep my language ,so clean today.....

 

Had a session with it today,for a deeper look -
Faults:-
•Front mudguard snapped in half.wired together under steering stem...do a better job at some point,but more importantly,bottom lugs o.k. .
•Ignition switch spins in housing
•Indicators not worling,rear stems need replacing -though don't see any reason I should'nt be able to renovate present indies.
•cylinder head has 1snapped bolt a couple of mil. in,which was why it was a little louder than I remembered.
•Some rust,but after tapping/reckon a good wire wheel down +primer/paint in patches.

Now some good points,
•wheels are nigh on spotless,minimal rust on front.patches on rear - looked quite good when wiped down.
•Tyres look viable,no visible degradation,though rear may?be borderline still looks tidy.
•Exhaust is pukka esp.after I took off some silver paint.(theres been a few c90ish bodges done on this bike,though nothing major).
•Apart from the indicators,though lights (ALL!),work perfectly,inc.instrument panel (bar indie light).
• Could probs do with 1-2 cables,but present work.
That's all for now..mk.

 

All dressed up,an nowhere to go..........yet..

 

Sooo can't wait,till the Hammerite arrives..

 

Bliss.!.,
decided it'll be a sensible bet to replace the 5 wheel bearings,then it's downstairs for a touch up respray/wheels on with new shoes.springs.,
meanwhile/give me a nice evening 1 night,cpla hours listening to the wireless/detailing..de-grunging baked on s.....e on the wiring loom.
Think i've had a C90 1st...centre-stand spindle NOT seized!!!!! - though 3-4" of flur.orange rust (cleaned,but patina'd)...handy as did'nt fancy cutting it off,as costly (gonna leave 70's on/though seized.....don't know how that works in relation to MOT as brake pedal runs off it.?.)
Swing-arms o.k.,not rusty.though will respray Xbar.
Hate waiting for the post........... .

 

Re-using originally fitted C&S,cleaned up good/though need to check chain brand (o-rings?),want to soak in a little petrol/nylon brush it.
Doing that,cause been a while since sussing gear ratios,mine's not standard (14/36),supposed to be (15/39),thought leave as is before head meltdown...got a date with a non-corrided chain guard an a microfibre (pre-fkd) cloth..later's ...

 

For the most,do give them a fair good clean BEFORE they come indoors an sanding an spraying's done OUTSIDE as it gets reaaaaly tiring picking wire wheel spines out of your toes going for a p at 2 in the morning..

 

Reckon a cpla years yet,before the Honda curse hits.........
Little bit of detailing wit moi's angle grinder to tidy up end of frame.then bolt rear underm/guard/ which came off easily (still re-use bolts,tooo!!),,
2" hole left wall of battery box,but have a rather clever idea for that..

 

Why the right's chalked up as such + C90 ventilation special.

 

Fkd that one up,prob.is have c90+70 parts side by side....an I was only cleaning the fekking 70's sprocks......
