IT TURNS. . . .



So with a weekend of partying out of the way, I took to this little beast again Sunday night. I had Blaster in each cylinder for about 4 days.

Removed the lefthand sidecover and used a nylon tie-down to loop through the piece that turns inside the stator.



With some serious elbow grease it began to move! The number 4 cylinder has a click to it as it turns, which I assume is some rust left on the wall. Those pistons are full of gunk!



I tested for spark once it moved freely with the kick starter, and there was none. I used a continuity tester to check the coils themselves, and it's a no-go for those. I'll be looking into some aftermarket solutions for sure, no reason to attempt authentic!




The pipes are pretty rusted, so I'll be looking toward a 4 into 1 solution. However, the tank paint is ok with some dents here and there!



Love to hear your feedback!
