Fill it up works in past day (pure gas) ONLY.
--- 1.Acid or Electrolysis to clean 2.Coat it w/ POR-15 http://www.amazon.com/POR-15-FUEL-TA...qid=1406750479 --- Cheap chinese solution: Treat it w/ ready made http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phospha...ersion_coating (Zinc/ Normal temperature type) liquid that sold at chemical shop. http://forum.jorsindo.com/thread-2436574-1-1.html | http://www.moto8.com/thread-126846-1-1.html |
A couple more pictures to make the thread a little more interesting.
The china carb I bought for it Had to ad 2 extra bends to the choke lever to clear frame. But works awesome now. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...785A167674.jpg Picture of the front end all cleaned up. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...C18D765967.jpg I ordered a new petcock for it. It's not sealing completely anymore. Rust going through it at first must of killed it http://www.ebay.com/itm/271268429437 It's a functional work in progress. There's lots I want to do to this but I have a limited budget so sometimes things take a while. Once air filter is here I'll get some better overal pics Dave |
Air filter arrived
I love these filters. I've got quite the handful of stickers out of them now http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...5E08C7C6F6.jpg Installed on bike http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...A6C21320_1.jpg Fits perfect I tryed using one that was 1 1/2 ID in the start. No go. Just ended up tearing So I ordered this one 1 1/4 Here's a couple other pics of the bike. The "custom" 1 wire wiring job The condencer is behind the fuel filter self tapered to the frame I tryed it without the condencer at first but it ran like garbage http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...2473E7AF87.jpg Pic from rear http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...92801A1B05.jpg And a couple side shots http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...655692E078.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...936E534E62.jpg I also changed the oil on this bike. Was loooonnngggg overdue That's all for now Dave |
If you'd like a less expensive option for next time, this is my favourite: Pod Filter It has a really decent core that is well bonded to the rubber neck, and it has the typical coarse filter on the outside. Can't beat the price.
Is the seat pan plastic or metal? It would be handy to find a cheap kickstand. If I had a spare, I'd send you one. |

Added to watch list for future reference Metal seat pan. I wish it was plastic I have this in my eBay watch list http://www.ebay.com/itm/280792490026 Just hessatant to pull the trigger and buy it lol I'm half tempted to buy material and try myself. But for 35 bucks it should fit perfect. I'm half tempted to make a kickstand for it. Would defanatly make my life easier. It's constantly falling over whenever we go riding. I usually lean it against my truck. Then forget about it and start hopping in and out of the truck. I don't think it would be to hard to make one. I'll just have to source a spring for it Dave |
You're making good progress. :) That is a very cool 'project bike.' :tup:

The formed seat covers are sure nice for a resto look, but you're not going for that. Head to Fabricland in Duncan and see if they have Daytona vinyl in stock. I bought enough red Daytona to cover two seats for less than $10, and it's UV-rated for outdoor use. Good stuff. It will be a little tough to cover the metal seat pan, but it can still be done. In addition to the punched metal triangles, you can also use short sheetmetal screws, since the foam will never compress enough to poke someone in the bum. Here's an XR100 kickstand and pegs for cheap: http://www.ebay.com/itm/XR100R-Footp...727ecd&vxp=mtr |

25 bucks shipping puts that stand at 50 bucks if I go with the "buy now" I'm going to keeps cowering eBay for now Until I look at it again. I think I can make one though lol We'll just have to wait and see Dave |
Do you ever get to the Lower Mainland? If so, you could have the part shipped to Blaine or Sumas (I get stuff shipped to Sumas a few times a month) and pick it up for $3.00. That will bring the shipping cost down significantly.
I think I found a spring that will work for you. Want to PM a mailing address to me? The spring isn't great, but it'll work. |

The spring has arrived
Weldangrind you've come through again !! This is exactly what I had in mind. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...4D9705E756.jpg Going to try and find some material for the kick stand at work / the sheds at home. I'll keep you guys posted. Not sure exactly what progress will be like. But I have a vision lol Thanks Dave |
I'm looking forward to following your project. Glad to hear the spring finally arrived.

Freebie XR80 kickstand version 1
I have a feeling I will be redesigning this thing lol as it's kinda a butcher job But here is a mock 1st attempt. I was to lazy to drag out welder. You will see :p Found a length of stainless in the shed. Only usable piece I could find http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...3000B5F05C.jpg I cut a manageable piece off http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...764BC025D0.jpg Then I created the "hinge" end Drilled a hole http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...7820DED55E.jpg Then notched the end out to go over the factory mount http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...665A34A9E2.jpg I drilled a smaller hole slightly longer then the spring. From the original spring mount Here's where I was to lazy to weld I used a bolt and 2 nuts to creat the second spring tab http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...7445F3008D.jpg Moving it through its motion http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...BCDE91D66A.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...B4BDF0EA48.jpg I then cut it to length. Have no way of explaining how I got the length. Just a guess lol Here it is on the stand http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...920E165016.jpg I'll try it for a bit as is. But guessing it will go back to the drawing board lol This took all of an hour so wasn't expecting perfection That's all for now Dave |
