New winter project

[BanannaMan]

The bare frame looked so Honda. LOL

Appears to be a 1964 (first year) Suzuki K-11 Sports 80 in the last pic.
(if not I give up)

Wifey thinks it is a B120. She said something about the pressed steel frame and it being a cheap and reliable way of doing it.

Bless her, full of useful information.

Ding ding We have a winner

Hopefully when I've finished it will once again look like that...only shiney and not broken. Just need to work out where everything goes as my dad didnt box/ label anything when it came apart

Need to draw up a list of bits that need replacing aswell.

Was going to have a guess, but it's been guessed now. However the DVLA doesn't give out much info!

The vehicle details for CTC 66E are: Date of Liability 18 05 2012 Date of First Registration 01 04 1967 Year of Manufacture Not Available Cylinder Capacity (cc) 80cc CO2 Emissions Not Available Fuel Type PETROL Export Marker N Vehicle Status Licence Not Due Vehicle Colour RED Vehicle Type Approval Not Available

Quite suprised there was basic information on there in the first place.

A quick update...


Whilst waiting to go and collect the rest of it this weekend I thought I would give my new Dremel jobby a test drive and had a go at polishing up some of the aluminium parts that I had.

Before




After



They have come up pretty well just a fair few more to do...

Collected the engine (along with lots of other grubby looking parts), new cylinder and new cylinder head as the old ones are missing cooling fins. Whipped the old cylinder off before I brought it here as im trying to save space in the man room .



The new cylinder needs a bit of attention as there is very light corrosion in the bottom of the bore and the outside needs re painting.



Looks like there is similar light corrosion on areas of crank aswell so going to split the cases when my uncle has found the service manual and special tools (flywheel puller) in the depths of his shops storage room, he knew they would come in useful one day

So at the moment everything looks like this....



So so many jobs to do, think a title of winter project was a bit ambitious, probably going to take significantly longer haha

Also the new exhaust downpipe I have sourced is wrong dispite it being listed as a K11 one. boo .



Might be adaptable though....maybe?

Having finished work for Christmas I have been using some of my time wisely getting the chrome parts ready to be sent away to be sorted. When I stripped the exhaust down I discovered the source of the really rubbish running all those moons ago before it was taken apart.

With a bit (read a lot) of persuasion I managed to get the baffle out.


hmm there's quite a lot of crap coming out of this exhaust....

Get it all the way out to be greeted by this


The baffle is packed solid with carbon/oily deposits.

No wonder it wouldnt run right there's nowhere for the exhaust gases to go!
Got it soaking in some wd40 to loosen it up the I can try clean it out.

Anybody with 2 stroke experience, is this just a sign of a neglected exhaust/ something that two strokes do, or is it a sign of other problems?

Now I've got the special tools the next job is splitting the engine

[TamSV]

Two stroke exhausts do need regular de-coking. Soaking in caustic soda is the usual recommendation.

You can burn it out but it creates a fair old bit of smoke.

[Sir Trev]

My H100 coked up like that and I have fond memories of my dad coming home to find me burning the carbon out with a blowtorch in the back garden! He was not happy about the mess and smoke! My RXS100 however did not clog up, but then I was doing slightly longer journeys on that at higher speeds.

Think of them like modern diseasal cars - short journeys kill them but longer/flat out blasts let it all get hot and it naturally burns the rubbish off without needing a strip down to manually decoke them.

Good luck with the project.

I thought B120 too but wasn't sure they were made that long ago... turns out they were... I'm old
