My Rickman CR750 Restoration
royhall:
Take note Honda, Rickman took the trouble to ensure you could get the head off whilst the engine is in the frame. ;)

Looks great , that would have been my dream bike in the 70's, nice to see it being resurrected.

Still is my dream bike. Had one in 77 with a Z1B engine, superb. Would love another but they are out of my price range now.

Did a bit more yesterday, got the oil tank, filter, sump and hoses cleaned and ready to go back on. Still got to get the pump off and primed with fresh oil.

Also checked out the coils, one has a broken HT lead at the coil end, so swapped a spare one over. The primary circuit is fine about 4.6ohms, but no reading on the secondary. I don't know if I am doing something wrong or if all 4 are duff.

My experiment to soften carb inlet rubbers was a huge success. Using a 3:1 mix of surgical spirit and wintergreen oil for 8 to 10 days turned them from rock hard to very pliable. The carb side softened the quickest being thinner rubber so after about 6 days I reduced the liquid level so only the thicker parts of the rubber were submerged. I will have to see if they harden as the weeks go on. The video shows how soft they are.
