so water in the jugs is not a bad thing?

how would i go about finding a parts shop to get stuff cleaned at? how bad is it to get stuff in the cylinders? do you soak in kerosene or scrub with it? sorry for all the questions, I am reading as much as a can other places as well, just really want to get this right the first time as much as...

so will the full strength brake cleaner be bad on the insides? or is soda blasting bad for the inside? Is either safe for where the gaskets go?

so whats the best way to clean an engine once you have it completely apart? it was really dirty and I probably should have done more cleaning before tear down but here we are. Im guessing you dont want to get your cylinders wet but you do want to get all the crud out of the fins.

thanks guys! I'm about to get stalker intimate with you two.... or at least your posts.... or just start stalking you.

Back story (questions in next paragraph if you want to skip this part): so I bought this cb360 last winter for seven hundred bucks. I got it running (poorly) when I got it home and decided the carbs sucked and moved on to the next project... like you do when you have like 6 bikes and ADD. fast...

let's start really simple. Did you happen to overlook screwing in your idle screw?

ok, I'm down to start with a torch. any advise on a torch set up? (sorry if this "sparks" more debate) ...see what I did there?

It runs great with the pod, I just got new mufflers and wrapped the headers, I'm running a 105 main jet right now but ive got a 110, 115 and 120 im going to play with once I put it back together. have it down to frame right now to weld in cafe loop and fabricated electronics/battery box then go...

any recommendations on a good welding machine for welding in battery boxes and cafe loops? cheaper the better but something that can adequately do the job.

will this work on a cm185? is this both a regulator and rectifier? I put a lithium ion battery in this bike and from what I understand it doesn't work too well with the original rectifier. so I bought a new aftermarket rec but havent put the battery back in yet. it's charging right now, have the...

hey, I have a little cm185 it's 7" od to od frame and the frame tube has a 1" od. can you do smaller bends with smaller pipe?
