I'm curious... how did you prep the engine before you painted it?

It's a very tedious job. I started by blocking every holes. After, I used degreaser and presure wash. Then I used a small air grinder with many size of wire brushes, 3M red scotch brite and some sanding paper. Before painting, I cleaned it with air and then a final wash cleaner that I always use before painting. For the paint, I used an industrial paint that is used for tractors, agricultural machinery, military, etc... This paint is very glossy. So I used matting agent to get a semi gloss finish. It took a hole day to clean and paint it.

Here's a small update. I cleaned and repair thewiring harness, I modified and installed the rear inner fender and battery box. I also installed tht clutch and brake lever. But I have a problem with the brake master cylinder. It work but there's a small leak where is the small lense where we see the level. I have 2 front master cylinder and both are leaking at the same place.



Any idea if it can be repair? Or a good and not too expensive replacement ?

Last week I worked on the carburetors and the heat shield. The carbs was really dirty and the heat shield was really bad. I managed to rebuild the carbs using parts from both sets and rebuild the heat shield with heat protector sheet and heavy duty aluminium foil.

There was waps nest in the top of the carbs


Lot of dirt


The pilot jets was all blocked. One of them jet was stripped and I had to used screw extractor to remove it.


Heat shield rebuild
