Thank you for keeping her alive. It warms my heart to hear her run. Where did you learn to work on them? Is there a school that specializes in motorcycles?
Nice, sounds healthy! Even in perfect condition they can slip a drip of oil and smoke a bit (especially while on the sidestand). Very common for these Wings.
Thanks, I believe it will clear up some. Later that day I started it again and it was barely smoking. It had 175psi compression on all cylinders so I'm sure it's not the rings.
Just remove the fuel tank and clean it. I put a pound of roofing nails in with any rust remover, or white vinegar, even strong detergent. Then shake about 30 minutes in all positions. Rinse with water until it comes out clear. Remove nails with a magnet. If it will not have gas in it right away, cost the inside with Marvel Mystery Oil.
This was my customers bike, 3 years ago, and he was trying everything to avoid having to pay me to remove it and clean it, but like I told him there is no way around it. I actually do about 50 tank restorations a year, just did 2 this week. Thanks for watching and commenting. Peace out! ✌️
Hi, I got that same bike. Bike hasn't startet in about 7 years. I got it running. But there is fuel leaking from the front right side. Any idea what that could be?
You need to be more specific, you physically need to see where it is actually coming from. It could be the carburetors or the mechanical fuel pump is on the right-side.
@@thedragon2299 i cant see anything. Haven't taken to much apartment yet either. But the pump isn't leaking. Its coming out from the right front on the bottom. I'll take more stuff of and see of i can maybe take a look closer to the carbs and see if they are tight.
@@alexzech1648 the float inside one or more of the carburetors could be sticking open and flooding the carburetors, causing it to drain out of the overflow tube usually routed to the underside of the engine somewhere. It will be a small tube coming out of the bottom of the carbs. Or could just be coming out of carburetor bowl gaskets.
I’m going to pick one up tomorrow. I can’t wait 😊
Congratulations, have a good time! 🐲🐉🐲

Just wondering if you do work on these still. I have a 78 and need someone to do a little work on mine. Im down in Alabama.
