Project Board / Cb250k3 first restoration project
« on: March 31, 2018, 05:58:50 PM »
Bought a CB250K3 which though Mot’d and running was a bit of a dog and showed it’s age. Mileage? Anyone’s guess as Mot s showed anything from 34,000 to 8,500 and back up 🤔. Visible problems, crappy paint, hand painted frames, dented and rusted chrome. Starter motor removed!
Rode home but pretty gutless, checked compression down from 170psi to 90psi. Squirted some oil down the bores no change in compression so probably valves, last owner did say he had just done some work on the valves.
Any way now all stripped down and intend to do a complete restoration. wish me luck 😀
