    Whats the best method of refurbishing the surface of an engine?

    I guess the engine I have doesn't look that bad but I would like to clean up either side of the crank case covers because I recently got a new stator cover but it's way shinier than the rest of the engine and wouldn't match well and I just wanna bring the crank case up to standard😂

    Still Cant Get My Bike to Start

    So the right side is the side that seems to be flooding the carbs... I don't know what level of fuel is getting to the heads but the right side will fire a few times and then it just doesn't do anything after that and only cranks with the occasional little pop or sputter every couple...

    Hey, mechanics! I've had a bike that I've been working on for a while now and I STILL can't seem to get it running.

    How do condensers plug in?

    I've spent a lot of time rebuilding my bike and finally got to where I thought I was ready to try to start it and it looks like I forgot to connect the condensers up... I know how it goes on the bike as I already have it mounted to the bike although I can't seem to find anywhere that tells me...
