Could engine start?! (The original blog was written on 6th Oct. 2007)

One week passed and a long-awaited weekend came.

I changed the engine oil,


Put the oil from the sparkplug holes and rotate the crank by hand,

Tighten the idle adjust screws to the end and return 1 turn,

At last I turned on the ignition praying the moment of the engine starting. 
After hearing the sound that the electric fuel pump sending the fuel, I pushed the gas pedal a few times then turned on the key …

VROOOOOOOOM!!!!!


The engine started with the first ignition!!!!! ☺︎☺︎☺︎

The engine revived for the first time in 10 years!  YES!!  I did it!!!
I havent done the accurate adjustment, but the idling was stable and it seemed good.

Tomorrow I would do the adjustment for the idling and throttle synchronization

Clutch master cylinder overhaul #3

I was still struggling with the sticking piston of the clutch master cylinder. I thought I should give up and look for the new part for the replacement.  And to for my curiosity , I started to destroy and disassemble the clutch master cylinder piston by drilling. When I was drilling the piston halfway , I didn ’ t have any specific idea , however , I thought to tap the piston to make the thread.  I started to turn the tap handle , and I felt the feeling that the piston was moved.  So , I tried to pull it , and then suddenly the piston was removed from the cylinder.

I observed the extracted piston.  It looked there was no risk of the leakage of the fluid because the hole I made in the piston was not penetrated.  Thinking the function that this part only holding the rod connected with the clutch pedal , it could be reused if the hole would be filled by the hard material. However , before repairing the holed

Clutch master cylinder overhaul #4

The overhaul of the clutch master cylinder , which I succeeded in the removal and repair of the piston with solder ( probably ), has been still continuing.  The master cylinder was disassembled and all parts were cleaned.  The condition of each part was not bad. In the last week the cylinder and rod were painted. Assembly started.  I checked the condition of the rubber parts originally used comparing with ones of the repair kit.  And I decided to use the original ones because the rubber was not deteriorated yet and the quality looked better than the repair kit ’ s one. Always the assembly is fast although I always struggled with the disassembly. Before After The overhauled master cylinder could be operated smoothly.  And I believe the appearance also became cleaner. ( My original blog was written on 26th Jul. 2009 )
