My 350 project
Tiny Tim:
Thanks for the nova info James.
Spent a few hours today trying to get the 350 to start, the closest it got was one very loud cough. I really need to hear it running before I start The strip down. Carbs off tomorrow as they all leak out of the bottom.
Had a bit of a disaster with the left hand engine casing. My own fault really, in my eagerness to find out why the starter motor wires have been tampered with. I put a crack in the casing whilst trying to undo a butchered screw :o
So I've picked up a blowtorch and will leave the fists of ham indoors next time I go near it.

Tiny Tim:
Progress, I think.
Managed to get the damaged sprocket cover off the bike. A bent screw was the problem.
Found a lovely mouse nest and more dead spiders behind it.
Can't see why the starter motor was disconnected, it does spin over when I hot wire the starter solenoid.
The crowning achievement of yesterday's efforts was I managed to get the beast to fire up for a whole 2-3 seconds.
Carbs still leak, no surprise there then. What little noise the engine made sounded pretty good. No nasty clattering, but I won't know for sure until I have a look inside.
I'll upload a few more photos when I get a minute.
More as it happens.

Thanks Tim,
Interesting thread that will probably become more so.
Cheers,
D.
Tiny Tim:
Right then, here we go.
Time to start pulling it apart.

As you can see I have quite a bit of work ahead of me.
Tiny Tim:
First hurdle out of the way.
Rear section removed with only one sheared bolt.
I can see a lot of chroming in my future.
