CB350F Rusteration
Nurse Julie:
Great work.
kevski:
I found the carbs relatively easy to put back on compared to my Z thou, mind you new rubbers were used both sides of the carbs.
Rob62:
Looks like its gonna be a little corker! 8)
mattsz:
Mind if I ask, how are you cleaning and treating the frame and parts? Mine is pretty filthy, but I don't want to just hose it down with water as some of the pieces and parts are removed (including the carbs), nor do I want to do a big degreasing job on the engine and lower/rear frame parts as I don't want oil and degreaser to soak into my dirt driveway.
I'd like to get it all clean, then degreased; maybe do something about the frame surface rust where the paint's off...
Moorey:
It is all been cleaned whilst on the bench, greasy oily bits done with a cloth soaked in kerosene doing a small area at a time and then drying with a clean cloth. Someone in the past has been at the frame with a rattle can and I am removing that just with T cut and plenty of rubbing until I get back to the original paint. Its easy to tell when you get back to original. On non paint surfaces good old Solvol , and finish with a good wax polish. No secrets or magic formulas, basically elbow grease. Its surprising what you can get back just with a good old rub. The pinstripes are a little distressed on the 350 and I cant make my mind up whether to leave them or remove and apply new ones.
This is a spare tank I bought for the 750f that someone in their wisdom thought would look nice with a black stripe up it. So I rubbed it away.
