Well, either the oil pump failed, which wasn't evident when I took it apart (it's gear driven) or the carb floats got stuck open and fuel leaked down into the oil through the cylinders and ruined the viscosity. I spent two weeks taking that motor apart. Took a while to get the pistons to break free with a breaker bar and socket on the crank bolt. When I got it all back together, it fired up and sounded better than it ever had since I owned it. Ran great for all of ten minutes, then locked up again. I was so pist off, I took the whole bike apart and sold it piece by piece on ebay, and made twice the money out of parts than I bought the bike for. Used that money on my Triumph a few months later. Still don't know why it did it.


Always remember to be yourself. Unless you suck. Then pretend to be someone else.
