dr650 project update
So as I expected its been one thing after the other on this bike however it is a project bike with no time limit and a (fun)learning experience. The first problem was the throttle was very tight and would stick when the wheel was turned either way. Some penetrating oil and a cable reroute fixed that problem. Next, the choke cable was froze solid. I took apart both ends and ran penetrating oil thru the cable and problem solved. Next, I went to pull the plugs and the inner plug was rusted in big time. After 2 days of working it back and forth along with PB blaster it finally came out. Also I took XLsior's advice and put oil in the cylinder(I used Marvel Mystery oil)and left it over night in case there is any kind of corrosion in there. After blowing it out(the starter does work but makes a noise) I put new plugs in and some gas(non-ethanol) and now the petcock and the carb. leaks. I ordered a carb. kit but haven't decided if I will rebuild the petcock or change to a non vacuum one like the Yamaha Rapter uses. And the Saga continues.LoL
