705A2AD2-22F5-4660-AC5F-66CB3EB765E6.jpeg The shaft for the estart and morse chain is out in pic. It is coming along pretty well. I still have some things to finish on the garage, but I’ve been taking the engine apart to verify what I will need to get it back up to snuff. I’m gong to do more than I...

Yes, they are supposed to have valve seals- but I have not pulled it apart to see what sort of condition (if any) it on there.
It doesn’t seem too bad for the kilometers (well, now I forget how many it has)...but certainly has a layer.

I could, but I’m replacing them. I’ll keep them for possible future (I have other spares too). I did not inspect the pistons for re-use, but I’ll bet they would be fine (assuming the ring lands are good on the piston with stuck rings). Everything else is looking good, although I’m going to replace t...

Yes, #6 (the one with low compression) had the top two rings stuck.

I already have proper 6-6 pipes, seat cover, fenders, tyres, handlebars and many others.
I have a 900 sei small fairing I plan on using (the one in the pics is up for grabs if anyone wants it).

Yes, I’ve been giving it the Kroil treatment. Almost certainly I’ll tear it apart. Parts are not bad for a lot of things. Cosmopolitan Motors here in the States had a huge supply, but so,d to an outfit in Germany a number of years ago. Makes it more another layer and cost... I have new 6-6 pipes, th...

I’ve been mucking about with the sei a bit. Engine turns over well- after some wire cleanup, it has great spark. Low compression in #6, oil brings it right up. Could be stuck rings, broken rings or just worn out. Or maybe a bit of all. I’m trying to ascertain what sorts of things I’ll need- if engin...

There doesn’t seem to be more than a handful of people that are using it.
I don’t have the answer to increase users.
