You have a good point. Unfortunately you’re right and I honestly don’t know if it’s any good. Besides the fact, it spins, has proper compression. No shavings in the oil, And this one actually had both recalls done. I don’t really know. I still plan on pulling the valve cover to at least check for top end starvation. But I bought this one to literally beat it around while I build the original engine. Seeing I’m really slow at building engines. Really really slow. But I will possibly have it ported and polished if it needs it. I don’t want to go to deep on this particular engine. I will get caught up going over board really quickly. Like I did on the Kawasaki. And as far as the carbs go. I’ll take some pictures hopefully pj can chime in again. Hopefully he’ll be able to tell the quality of the rebuild kit, by pictures.
Anyway, turns out marvel mystery, a scotch brite pad, and a wire brush and a couple hours of my time is all I need for a clean engine. I got some of it clean today, it looks like it just sat for a really long time. A lot of oxidation. But under the oxidation I was a little surprised to see it comeing back to life so easily.
Also sold a roof rack I had. And the buyer I sold it too told me about a Honda cm450 he had. And he’s practically giving it to me as well, as a spare engine he has for it. I’m extremely grateful. I don’t know what I’m going to do with it yet. I might end up giving it away and keeping the headlight and other little parts.
