Time just flies by in the blink of an eye
\nEvery day! I’m left with incomplete combustion \u2605
\nSetting aside my howling into the void…
 
\n
 
It’s gone down a lot! I didn’t know Sunstar didn’t make a kit for this, so I went with OEM
 
\n
 
First round of hot water soak\u2014that cleans it up roughly, then I disassemble and soak again, wash and polish the inside, then soak once more, completely dry it with a heat gun
\nand assemble it.
 
\n
 
Surprisingly clean! \u2605
 
\n
 
The piston is a bit rusty, and it’s got some scratches from being clamped in pliers, so it’s a goner
 
\n
 
I’ll install a brand-new piston that a customer left behind \u2605 (I’ve got 10 more sets on hand!) Of course it’s on the house \u2605
 
\n
 
Finishing the sides and mating surfaces with a stone too feels really nice \u2605
\nThe back of the dust seal always corrodes, doesn’t it
\nI wonder if there’s any way to make it easier
\nWhen you do an OH on a caliper, it really does spin light
\nand you realize it was dragging more than you thought.
\nSo I thought I’d take it for a test ride… and the engine cuts out when I put it in gear \u2605 I thought it was the sidestand switch, but it wasn’t… what the heck??? Turns out the sidestand switch wiring was plugged into the wrong place\u2014that was the culprit… After a test ride, it’s done!
