Heres the story.
Bought an 78 XS650SE off CL for $350. Came with new tires and new Chain, Didn't Start Though. Bought a new battery. Replaced the Spark Plugs and fuses, Tore apart the carbs and gave them a cleaning , took out stock air boxes, put on Uni Pod Filters. After a Few Kicks Started right over.
Now I Decided To Build a Bobber, Purchased the Ardcore Hardtail.
I want to clean and paint the engine as I have it out of the frame. Any Suggestions for Cleaning the outside of the Engine? Trying to avoid taking apart the engine for paint.
Is this possible?
Thanks!
