Evie: Testing Makita Wire Brush

 

 







 

Clutch Org & Audit

 Big audit and organization around all the clutch parts.  Split the sets to just audit each part on its own.  Moved all the small parts to a single compartment bin.

Evie: Motor Swap

Swapped over to Ivy's original motor with the goal of just getting it up and running to test the straight pipe.

Once the motor was mounted, just went through a bit of an audit on what's gonna be needed:

  • tensioner bolt is rounded, will need a new one
  • need 3 new alternator screws
  • need cam roller + bolt
  • 3 new rocker cover screws
  • need head cover
  • need camshaft + bolt
  • need advance
  • need cam sprocket
  • need points plate with wire
  • need piston + pin and whatever jug combo
  • clutch
  • right side cover
  • all gaskets

 Also checked an there is a rocker pin with restrictor hole installed.  It is on the EXHAUST side with the hole pointed INWARDS.

Roxy II: Second (Long) Shakedown Run

With a few issues sorted now, took Roxy for her second shakedown run and she ran like a champ.  Riding position was very comfortable.  

Swore that she had once had a sticky shift into second but didn't detect anything like that at all.  Weird.  Or maybe it was Ivy's motor?

She also started up and idled beautifully.  

Couldn't be happier with the way her reincarnation turned out...
