Where good meets the bad. Jan 23rd weekend.

So Bad news first. Had a main come off and puncture my oil pan. Engine has to come out and I have to put more money into this project. I now realized, when it was sucking gallons of gas (due to oversized carb and rear vacuum port got unplugged) Switched carbs, had it running good. Then after time thought it was from the cold, wouldn't run good. So long and short, I must have had a lot of gas get in the oil and I just didn't realized this, broke down the oil and now I have this setback. I got the bottom end used and didn't do anything but put a cam in it. So I am sure in due time, I would have had to replace something, but now when it is so close to being done.

FINALLY got my clutch figured out, after going through several used MC's and a used Slave, and bleeding this thing a million times, I realized my pedal was hitting the floor before it would engage enough. So I cut it and bolted it shorter, which is good, cause it is now level with my brake pedal. Now the clutch works fine.

Bought a brand new tank and sending unit (still having reading problems though). This was the last big task I had and I would be pretty much done. Well, now I got some more added time and money to put in and February is damn cold, so I got that to look forward to. When it rains it pours LOL
