    Only got a few hours to play with it today so I installed the cams and intake manifolds. Perhaps tomorrow I will get a chance to adjust the valves and install the cam cover.

      I love to see rebuilds like this.....sooner or later I'll work up the nerve and know-how to do it too! Thanks for documenting it.
      '79 GS750 - 4th and current ride...first since 1983
      '73 CB350 - 1st ride
      '76 GT750 - 2nd ride - the "water buffalo" - sold to buy an engagement ring
      '79 RD400F Daytona Special - 3rd ride, the last of the street legal US 2-strokes - sold to buy a house

        I got the valves adjusted (more on that later), the carbs cleaned up, exhaust rigged up (still need to make rear mounts), sand blasted some old spark plugs and hooked it up to an IV bottle.
        Lightly sanded the points and hoped for the best as I had to tape over one of the broken plug boots.

        Carbs were in great shape.



        Enough for today.

            From the first set of photos, I would have guessed that it was not even worth trying to rescue. But this is really turning out nice. I'm looking forward to the completed project.
