The explanation would take too long and most here are weary of my tirades. You
only need Plasti-gauge and a torque wrench plus a decent micrometer. Install
the bearing with a piece of the gauge and tighten to spec. . Remove and
measure. Recheck your work a second time. If you have access to fine

You don't wanna hang on to that heap. It will only cause you troubles and
you should get rid of it. Tell ya what, because you're a new friend, and
because I like you, I'll take it off your hands for you. Hell, I might even
throw in $500 or $600

second engine with only 9000 miles on it, i pretty well have a complete

Wow, nice bike. That is a neat looking fairing, can you still get to the
engine with it on? Either way you should enjoy the bike once you get it back
on the road. Congrats.

The question on the table is how do I transfer the pretty color

I agree...if you are going to take all of that time to pull it apart, then
do whatever you can to replace parts. My theory: add up the time it takes to
take it apart the first time and not do it right...then times that by 2.5
for taking it apart the second time and finally doing it right. Being
so you take some short cuts and "limit your labor time on this" and end up with
an engine with new whatever you renewed and old bearings and worn surfaces from
what ever you saved with "limited your labor time on this". WHY BOTHER! save
your self a lot more time and quite now.

Restricting air flow effectively raises the fuel mixture. Are you sure
you're getting enough fuel? No clogs in the line or the fuelcock?

choke seemed not to play apart. Once it had 'caught', restricting

Ah... so the term is "piggy-backed." Interesting.
So you recommend the black bearing size. Any particular reason? Any
advice for matching "black" with a letter designation (a-f) on the
parts list?
Thanks for the help!
