cub200 Posted July 11, 2013 Report Share Posted July 11, 2013 It certainly held the water in that chaincase, I'm surprised it ran at all, was there water in the gearbox as well and then there's the crankcase,,,,,,,,,, good luck with it, keep us informed of progress, I'd like to know how it turns out.

b40rt Posted July 11, 2013 Report Share Posted July 11, 2013 The primary chain alone could stop it turning over, try not to be pesamistic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodcub61 Posted July 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2013 It turns over now and the crank feels good so it's on with the build it wasn't dear less than a grand to buy it is all there just tatty and it's the T20S high compression motor so it should be fun when done..................will fit an electrex cdi and elec ignition when ready as it will be run with no lights etc and will add and modify as I go along pictures to follow as I go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodcub61 Posted August 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 Moved on a bit need to sort something for the worn swingarm bushes but loks good I think ...... The wheels have been powder coated in chrome effect finish as the original wheels had major surface rust and the chrome was shot effective cheap alternative Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
