Combined efforts of Tommy Cobb, and myself, we cleaned and repaired the Carburetor that was severly corroded and fuel varnished. Also, someone previously had tampered with the carb. and parts were not properly reinstalled. Now the carburetor is reassembled and functioning properly.
We had the task of also cleaning what Tommy deemed as a destroyed fuel tank and petcock. through perserverence, and lots of thinking, we restored the fuel tank and petcock, the tank is sparkling clean metal now, the petcock is clean, and functional.
Immediately upon firing up the bike after the fuel system repairs, we encountered fouled spark plugs, so a change was in order. After installing Spark Plugs, the engine now runs properly.
The bike is in the shop awaiting customer pickup.
In summary, another bike that had severe fuel related issues, neglect, and improper repairs previously has been restored to factory specifications. another job well done.
