The rain just keeps coming\u2014this year really has been wet.

With the rain dragging on and finally getting cooler, I’m not sure if that’s good or bad.
But honestly, isn’t it easier to work when it’s warmer? <\/p>\n\n\n\n


Oil-cooled engines might actually prefer the cold. <\/p>Carburettor and main harness work and more\u2014all on the menu.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Start by removing everything you can.

It’s better to remove hose clamps at the same time you pull the hoses.
Finding out later that something’s missing is a real problem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wiring can be discouraging at first glance. It’s good to keep things from getting too messy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I’m not sure why the fuse box is shifted a bit.
Anyway, let’s crack on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hmm. Could this be the cause of that problem? \u2460<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The spark plug cap was also pretty loose. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The starter relay cover has been removed and it’s all gunked up.
Access is poor and it’s risky, so we’ll replace it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ETC antenna is stuck on with double-sided tape.
The widespread use of chemicals, double-sided tape, and cable ties is actually a pain point. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

About the fuel sensor not lighting up. We replaced it and it’s good.
We’ll swap it out while the sensor is accessible.

Parts like this will probably be discontinued eventually, so if you have the budget, it might be better to replace it now. *Low-versatility parts need special attention.

Trust me and give it a try.
No-touch <\/a>spray it on and wipe it off quick. Mud and grime come right off. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s best to work in a way you wouldn’t be embarrassed about if someone saw you.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cleaning up as you go reduces lost parts, damage, and mistakes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Put parts in a Ring Star case in order and you won’t have to hunt for them later.
Plus you can close the lid and store it as is.
The go-to is Ring Star Super Pitch Clear L300\u00d7W206\u00d7H39mm with 8 dividers SP-3200D <\/a>

Ring Star Super Pitch Deep Free Type A4 size SP-3400F\u3010L342\u00d7W290\u00d7H90mm\u3011<\/a>\u2014you can fit two SP-3200D units in this.


If you just mix everything together for storage,
you end up thinking “let’s see, the cowl screws are 2, 4, 6…” and losing parts or having extras left over.

Don’t just plop things on the work stand (lift) or shop towels.
A little planning makes things “so much easier.” <\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
