Naval jelly, 0000 steel wool, 800, 1500 sand paper, chrome and Aluminum polish, Simple Green and lots of elbow grease. This is what it takes to try to reverse 30 years of neglect. Unfortunately it can’t all be removed but I’m giving it my best.
As I’ve mentioned before there has been an oil leak in the rear cylinder, there is low compression and clouds of smoke coming out of the crank case breather. Then I started to ride it. At first there was a seven mile gas run then daily jaunts to practice. Apparently actually being used is good for an engine because it is no longer smoking. There is still a wonderful whiff of smoke and oil when it first starts but no visible clouds 🙂
