[QUOTE="adzrules, post: 101620, member: 6641"] After purchasing this K3 over a year ago and then having to let projects go by the wayside for a while, I am finally ready to start in on this project. What I know already: - Good compression (though I haven't actually put my tester on to see the reading yet) - Shifts gears well (at least when it's not running) - Wiring needs work (threw in an AGM battery I had and only got the brake light to work - I had to redo the battery connections before that even would work) - Kicks over well but wouldn't start with a bit of fresh gas and a fresh battery, but I wasn't expecting to be that lucky without some work - A bit of rust removal in the tank and on the wheels (I am not looking forward to getting the wheels apart when that time comes:shocked:) - I have the classic rusted seat pan that looks like someone filled it with buckshot from below. - Some other wacky cosmetic things like the bent kickstand or the weird weld on the rack for strength (not sure the PO succeeded there :40:) Plans to begin with (not in any particular order): - Plug, points, timing, etc. - Clean carb - Check airbox for any inhabitants throughout the years - I'm guessing the filter itself is probably crunchy from what I have seen already. - Clean oil filters and put in fresh oil - Clean fuel tank, replace fuel lines and filters - Clean/repair all wiring connections and reroute those that have wandered from their rightful home... I figure on tackling the motor/fuel system first would be best and if I have to mess with the wiring along the way that isn't overly difficult. This should be fun. [/QUOTE]
