[terry.tz]

just showing the drops of oil looks like both 2 stroke and bottom end oil ill give it a good clean in a day or two and try locate the leak looks like its from gear shaft

needs drilling and taping although cable ties doing a great job

if i had a welder then i could of just run a bead on the back as it have nasty stretch fractures on the bend might ask a local garage

seems a bit oily to me

[declan]

@terry.tz they can be a bit waxy from previous head gasket failures how over is recommend a rebuild as the first thing to do then paint and as you build it back up fix and replace the little issues but a nice bike anyways you keeping it original?

[terry.tz]

@declan naa it not staying original well I don't no time will tell I suppose and ye I think it is the gasket tho seems a bit too smokey as for rebuild etc as much as I should do it I need it on the road asap for a few weeks then I can start tidying it up so unfortunately I don't have a choice little things are going to be first

[declan]

@terry.tz can't wait to see it finished

[terry.tz]

@declan that will be a long time very long time if ever, to be honest, it probably always be a tinker toy if you know what I mean but then again as already stated time will tell I do have some ideas but ill keep them close for now things can change

[terry.tz]

bike was cutting out at every stop and idle screw wouldn't budge and was rounded a bit so I took it off for a clean and to loosen the idle found they have a security bolt so it only had a quick clean got the idle moving tho took some shifting like but carb wants doing again it's looking sorry for its self need to get a rebuild kit for it really seals were almost none existant

[terry.tz]
