Picked up long ago
 

I have had this Original since 2008. It ran when I parked it. I remember when I picked this up the clutch was in need of some help.

It has been in storage all these years and it is time to get it running again.
It needs a few things, but the tank is clean, and the choke and throttle cables move freely.

Axle seals and the tranny needs a going over.
Carb clean but we will check to see it will start first.
Oil change.
See what is up with the clutch.
Remove that pesky creeper as it need to be gone over, over to my other Original.
Steering has some slop.
This and that and the other thing...

Looks like a good winter project!

Good to know you have sat back and thought about this project , no good rushing in thats when mistakes are made

Time to turn the heat on.

I put the heat on in the shack was able to do a little work on the "O" the last few days. Removed the dash tower as it was in bad shape, had some PO mods to it. Put all the parts from the old to the one I had laying around. Did a little rewiring to the harness and replaced the VR with a know working one I had laying around. Then I tackled the creeper removal. Simple way of removal, tip it on its side, no laying around! The flex coupler was a little worn and I can see why I was having issues with the clutch.

More updates in a few days...

Nice work Lew.

Thank you, more updates later in the week...

:bigthink:

I took the clutch apart, need a teaser and a thrust bearing, otherwise in needs nothing else.

More progress, clutch reassembled and installed. Put on the nicer dash tower and such...
Need a dash grommet for the steering tube.
Pix for Twoton to look at in his rocking chair as us old guys have them...
