Birthday Garage Party

Not much to do on a birthday during quarantine...

But maybe fitting to work on all 3 bikes a little bit.

Added the copper washer to Red's tensioner bolt which did seem to stop that leak.

Also did oil changes on all three.

Red: Keihin Carb Solve

Well, figured out where the air leak on the Keihin was coming from.  As I went to unbolt it from the intake, found that the stud bolt was completely loose.  Looks like it had stripped threads in the carb mounting and was not cinching down at all.

Swapped over to the Sheng Way #1 and was able to get her to run fine - though still seems to have that same high idle / runs rich issue that the Shengs seem to have.

But at least she's running again...

Ivy: Victory!

No real tricks here except elbow grease and repeated attempts.  I suppose the only trick is that you have to keep pressure on the extractor so that it doesn't back itself off of the stud as you tighten it down.
