[QUOTE="buttahman, post: 76330, member: 6251"] Hey guys, A few weeks ago I picked up a '73 CT70 K1 from my cousin. He's had it since new. I know for a fact that it has not run in 20 years, because I was the last person to get it running all those years ago. Its been kept under a tarp outdoors under a deck for the last ten years and the ten years before that it had been garage kept. Other than the wheels and the some flakes on the chrome there isn't too much rust. I removed the throttle grip and sleeve is rusted solid to the handle bar. I've hit it with WD 40, liquid wrench, and various blunt objects but that sucker won't budge. I'm not looking to save it I just want to remove it and replace it. Any suggestions you guys have is appreciated.[COLOR="Silver"] [SIZE=1]---------- Post added at 05:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:41 PM ----------[/SIZE] [/COLOR]By the way the screw head is stripped and appears to be rusted in place, haven't tried vice grips on it yet. Thanks again. [/QUOTE]
