More CT90 repair adventures happened today.
-- Cleaned the carb. Not too bad, some old brown gas in the float bowl, but it should be good now.
-- All cables were seized or very sticky. Got 'em all unstuck and smooth, except the throttle cable which is still a bit sticky. Have to work on it some more.
-- Verified that both beams of the headlight work. That's good because replacements ain't cheap. It's a 6V sealed beam setup.
-- Pulled the speedo. It rattles. Ruh roh. Chucked the cable in my drill and spun it. Speedo part works fine, odo does not. So the rattle is a bit of plastic gear from the odo. Oh well. I can get a new Chinese speedo unit in KM for a CT70 for about $21 on Amazon. The Carrot's speedo has a trip meter and a different shape, more oval instead of triangular.
-- There is some rust inside the frame, not too bad (no holes), so I don't need to do a full teardown. Just remove all the electrical pieces/wiring (5 minutes at most) and spray in there with Rust Reformer.
-- Sprayed The Carrot's wheels inside the rims with RR, and also the Tomahto's battery box.
