Haha ikr! I'm not really familiar with the anatomy of a braking system. If it's all gunked up in the res will it be like that inside the caliper and lines? I had a hell of a time putting that caliper back together. Couldn't keep the pads separated. I'm pretty sure I did it incorrectly lolDesmoBro said:

Taking the master apart is the hard part especially when its as bad as yours is ....once its apart there is a few seals on the piston to be replaced and then a good clean up some rebuild kits come with a new piston too sometimes you can find an entire master for less/same price as the kit
Yeah I definitely didn't have it completely apart the other nightDesmoBro said:
might have to research upgrading to another brake that will fit my stock set-up. Haven't looked at the cost of all the options...
Got the new shifter installed and the oil filter replaced! Attempted to shift through the gears whilst rolling around but this clutch isn't working

"Woot quick update. Stuff is kind of coming together but just when I think I see myself starting this thing something comes 
Bolts came in!
Cover and points installed
Carb mounts finished!
Throttle cable installed. I should've gotten the diy pair. Looks like I'll still have to cut and resolder the end. shifter still isn't doing right. I'm leaving Friday for Vegas
going to try and get it fired up before I leave. Oh yeah, lost the oil drain plug....

Broke broke broke
waiting on funds Friday and Saturday. had to expense way more than I thought... Until then I'm trying to rig this throttle cable to work. The ends that fit into the slide are way too big. I'm going to dremel them down to look more like the universal ends lol here are some pics from Vegas. Tore my ac joint the night before we left Dallas

Hey dudes. Just letting you cats know I'm alive. Shoulder is doing well. Been doing nothing but ghetto fabricating throttle cables. I finally managed to get them to fit. Got a care package from Desmo! All kinds of good stuff. Most importantly the oil drain plug! I'll the pics soon. All I need now is some fuel line, a T joint thing, oil, gas, and I'll be ready for startup! Here's a pic of my GFs computer we build to hold you over till I get home.

Picture overload! Care package, Throttle cable, janky carb intake boots, and my new (to me) vehicle! Filling the 305 up with oil, grabbing some gas, and gonna do the damn thing... Wish me luck. I'll post a video.

I think that's where your fuel line attaches, not the bottom. Usually the bottom is just an overflow.
Well I feel like an idiot. The hoses were attached at the "overflow" hole there in the bottom when I first got the carbs... No wonder my start-up was a fail. Perfect. Round two tonight.Duchat said:

It's a good thing you make mistakes because the rest of us don't, like when I wired my pamco backwards so right fired on left etc...RoseyVelt said:
Haha well it's only the beginning... I'm sure it'll get betterDuchat said:
So i put the hoses on the right nipples
Hooked up the battery and attempted to start the damn thing...
Nothing.
Held the spark plugs against engine case. On the left i saw nothing. Tried to test the right side and the starter motor wouldn't turn over
smoke coming out of the chain cover on left side. There's a small set if wires going to the "stator"? Afraid to do anything else now. Sent from my SM-N915V using Tapatalk

If it makes you feel any better my 305 is in way better shape starts runs and drives but will just cut out on you with no warning and hasnt made it farther than 4 blocks before ive had to push it.....every time too you could set your watch by how my bike cuts out....so there is light at the end of the tunnel but youll still be pushing when you see it.....
