Cylinder stud repaired, new gaskets all around, cleaned and valves lapped, carbs rebuilt as well – and now thrown together to 1/2 of an airhead. Oh, new spark plugs too, and just noticed I’ll be needing a new coil, the old one has a cracked cover, typical for the original piece, resulting in cutouts in rain.

My first ever valve lapping, that went okayish methinks. Hoping to fire up in a few days, without side noise. That’d be Noice!

Heads up (or sideways rather!) for an upcoming pictorial and a short documentation of a small Airhead motorcycle build I’m working on. Part stripped, part painted, it’s all coming along slowly.
