You all are much more knowledgeable than me but I have found when cleaning carburetors. I use metal guitar strings to get in the little holes to clean.

Ok great thanks for the explanation.

Should I look for a better hub?

Hey guys I am back, hopefully for awhile. How much life is left in this rear drum for the brakes?

Thanks for what you said.

Thank you, been struggling keeping a schedule on working on the RD350. Between family incidents, vacations and health problems. It's been slow going. I think I need to get selfish and put the restoration as a priority. Other than health issues I can put all focus on the bike. I would really like...

Is there 2 different bikes in the pics or is it a before and after? Looks sweet!

Take a can of WD40 with the motor running spray different areas where you think the sound is coming from. If it's a air or vacuum leak. Spraying it should make it quit. At least you can pinpoint where it is coming from.

What is the best thing to put in the gas tank to stop rust until I get to restoring the tank? If I have to reline the tank whatever I put in now I don't want it to make the sealer like POR-15 to fail.

Back again you all, been battling pneumonia again. It takes me a month to get back to somewhat normal. Anyways I finally got the frame painted 2k epoxy primer 2k urethane. Now I will start cleaning parts with the ultrasonic cleaner and sandblast parts that need it.

Hey guys I haven't forgot you all. Now that we are out of the holidays and the Christmas decorations are out of my way. I am getting the garage in order. I am going to upgrade the sandblaster. Going to paint the interior white and adding a 16" 4 bank led light. The light was about 16.00 and I...

You are probably right. I think back then no manuals, no youtube. You made mistakes and learned from them. I used to always think. When I would go to a auto parts store. With a problem, I always thought they were just being asses and not answering my questions. Now I realize they probably didn't...

To think when I was a teenager to my early 20's. I didn't know about JIS screwdrivers. Now I know why I stripped the heads on tough to get out screws. I was amazed how many people I know now. That were not aware of JIS screwdrivers that work on bikes.

A set of Tessel JIS screwdrivers was some of the first tools I bought. Also the 1/4" drive JIS bits for my impact. Thank you for the information

I will check those guns out. I am researching about sandblasters and coming up with some good ideas to make the cabinet better. I like the airflow idea. I can see now that if I did a bunch of sandblasting I could probably want a bigger compressor.
