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 #2: tough match

I disassembled the removed clutch master cylinder. And I found that the piston was heavily rusted. I tried to hit it with a hummer , Pushed the piston using the vise clamp like this.  However , the piston was heavily sticking by rust and it could not to be moved today. The brake master cylinder was replaced in the past , however , the clutch master cylinder was not.  Therefore , the condition of the clutch master cylinder might be worse. Tentatively , I would spray the rust-penetration lubricant from both sides of the piston and try again in a few days. If it doesn ’ t work , I would give up the overhaul and order the new part.

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. Finally I could extract the rusty piston! 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 , be...
