Another session in the garage last night,
Tighten carb & air box clamps + bracket, fit pain in butt rubber cover and tank bracket,
water deflector under tank,
radiator, harness junction box, thermostat housing, coils and pump assy,
fill up coolant,
Still had clutch cable detached at top from doing switches, so decided to grease it now rather than get forgotten for eternity. All went well until I pushed sheath back and it came un-hooked at the bottom :rolleyes , so sprocket cover off to sort, dropped peg off cleaned & greased gear linkage including main pivot,
3am by then, but I was determined I was going to have it running, grabbed the fuel tank & put it on backwards over the seat area on a good bed of rags.
Primed up the fuel, the pump only runs for something like 5 secs then stops without the engine running, so turned the ignition off and then back on again untill its clicks slowed down and stoped, carbs full now.
Fired up easy but noticed a coolant leak, one of the hose clamps had gone tight on it's thread but not clamping tight enough on the pipe, tried bit of lube and tighten it, oh-er, but no play
, so found another clip, sorted.
Fired it up again no probs, kept an eye on coolant level, bit of smoke from the plus-gas I had used on the exhausts, well quite a lot actually :o
But Happy at that
. So rum 'n' coke time and then crash out :z work in the morning
