Found a Skunk on the side of the road

Get you an old furnace blower fan and wire it to the high speed wire. Sit it on a milk crate and wire it to the crate. Stick it right in front of the jugs and let it rip. This is an excellent source of plenty of air to let it run for a good long time without any worries of overheating. I would let itm run a good 20 minutes or so and then shut her down...well after it has stopped smoking.

If it sits a wweek or so after that and the seals are bad, she will most likely smoke again for a few minutes upon restarting. This will at least give you an indication. Now the question is this..is it using oil at an alarming rate or just needs a few ounces now and then.

My 80 1000G has a oil consumption addiction, but I have learned to live with it, it don't smoke but it still uses some, about a half qt every 6-7 hundred miles. If you love something, sometimes you have to learn to live with the addiction's.

Well I bolted the header back on this bike I picked up today , changed the oil and threw the carbs on from the other 1000 as they have just been gone through. , put a battery in and fired it up. it sounds good now motor noises, revs well clutch works goes through the gears good. This bike is in much better shape then the other, so it will be the one that I put back stock, and I will modify the other . More projects oh boy

Well went this morning and picked upi the other 1000, not great but for free what the hey ;

The bike also came with the title, stock exhaust and a pipe looks like an old Kerker, or Mac. The handle bars are tweeked , and tank has been replaced
It's nice to have friends

I don't think I've ever seen an E with the standard tank on it

Is the tank in good shape?

 

[Guest]

Yes the tank is in good shape, It is in better shape than the black one, but has a few small dents to deal with. The black tank is rusty inside and out but I should be able to repair it .
