what did you wrench on today??

[wes cooley]

got the 74 ts185 running last night, sounds sweet. carb was spankin' clean on the inside, installed my 6v battery. the only hold up is the tank. vinegar, nuts, bolts screws, etc. won't budge the black ooze adhered to the left (kickstand) side of the tank. thirty years ago it was gasoline. guess i'll have to bite the bullet and have it hot tanked and sealed at a local radiator shop that does them.

Checking valve clearance on the Mk.II. Waaaay outside the tolerances...

Finished up the 79 1000 S today..Had rebuilt the carbs and converted it back to all stock. Finally all six of my bikes are riders again.

Didn't wrench, only cleaned and polished.

My first bike only I think mine was a 78 (maybe) either way loved and it was awesome. I got it in the late 80s and rode it until the mid 90s when little brother let the oil/mix reservoir run dry and finally killed it. should have kept it and rebuilt it but ended up getting rid of it for parts. Awesome bike!!!

Painted the bottom of the tank just fine...rolled it over to do the top and it was scratched up. I will have to go into town tomorrow and get some more primer filler since I ran out the other day.

I will post some S pics tomorrow..Its not a restore project..all i did was take the Yoshi and the vm 29s and pods off.. Had to install the OEM airbox and the VM 26s..and stock exhaust.. She needs some degreaser and a brush on the engine because the rubber cam ends are seeping. But some day i will get around to that too.

Tried to see if I could figure out what was wrong with the dishwasher and failed... then discovered via Google that our model and serial number are potentially part of a factory recall due to a circuit board issue with overheating, so fingers crossed that's what's wrong and it'll be a free fix

PS: I know it's not wrenching but I was close...

Pete...The mental wrenching is often worse than the physical part.

Can't help but agree with that!

Bolted the head on the GPz today. Sunday bwringer is coming over and we are going to learn how to degree camshafts. Should be fun.

I've been trying to figure out a brand new wobble at 70 mph since I put my new tires on. Nothing conclusive yet. Worked on a paying job too.
