You need proper break in. You're gonna kill your new piston with WOT so soon.

Yeah, But look how cool it is...

I cleaned the engine up quite a bit, I am going to clean it more if I have to break the cases. WAYYYY to many crevices for me to get into. It all gets covered up. So that is going in today, and whatever else I can put on that doesn't interfere with putting the carb on and adjustments. It will be bac...

Well, finally got the swing joint cleaned up. Three days of on and off working on it. Here it is: http://i822.photobucket.com/albums/zz143/zuphilius/1984%20Honda%20Gyro/100_3206.jpg http://i822.photobucket.com/albums/zz143/zuphilius/1984%20Honda%20Gyro/100_3205.jpg http://i822.photobucket.com/albums...

My Gyro tank had some surface rust that I cleaned by dropping some of these pyramid shape resin pieces used in metal vibrator/tumblers for polishing/rust removal http://i822.photobucket.com/albums/zz143/zuphilius/1984%20Honda%20Gyro/image_2793.jpg Wow. They took the rust right off with me shaking it...

Thanks, Sanjuro. It is a basically good starting point for a rebuild. Everything was dusty and of course covered in caked on oil. 97.5% of the parts are there and Honda carries most of the gaskets, o-rings and such. You can even still get some body panels new! I'm thinking of trying to get more powe...

Way to go, wicked!!

Okay, ordered a bunch of parts today, gaskets and o-rings mostly, and my tires and tubes. I promised myself I wasn't going to tear this down any farther than I already have.

Greetings: You can re-rivet or perhaps tap some threads. Success! I drilled out the rivets, and voila! The insides were so gunked up, I could have soaked it forever and it would not have come clean. So I cleaned it up, tapped the holes and it's good as new. Almost. I need the petcock lever gasket. ...

Greetings: An Aero petcock of mine survived a few days' dip in NAPA brand bucket. Still worked. A better option might be to grind off the rivets and dismantle to clean & check for corrosion. You can re-rivet or perhaps tap some threads. Small engine repair shops might carry something you can us...

Well, been cleaning things up, waiting for some cash to replace the tires, get a front brake cable and get some carb and tank gaskets. Come across the petcock, the passages for the fuel seem to be clogged. I cleaned them the best I can, but the lever for the on-off is riveted on, so I can't clean it...

I'm guessing #23 since that is when they hit port. A guy walks into a bar and sees a there is a midget playing a piano in the corner. He goes up to the bartender and remarks, What's with the guy playing the piano in the corner? The bartender tells him there is a Genie at the end of the bar and he is...

Yes it is, and in perfect shape.
