Making progress

More garage cleaning, more stuff on craigslist for free.  Just so it is gone.

Interesting that there seem to be an increasing number of people who just collect free stuff.  I posted up a motorcycle wheel chock, a Harley front spoked wheel, and four trailer wheels.  All taken by people who appeared to have no interest in motorcycles, Harleys, or trailers.  Sounds like they will then try to resell or scrap the parts.  Works for me since I would have to pay to take them to the dump and/or the metal recyclers and not sure I would have made back the cost of gas for going to the recycle place.

Meanwhile, reorganized the garage today so that the bikes are accessible.  The middle one is now running (woohoo).  Need to pick up some screws to hold the air cleaner in place, then I am going to take it for a ride and make sure it keeps running (hopefully not dying far from my house).  It is going up for sale but not until I ...

Use the carburetor bank to see if I can get my other CBR running.  I had sent out the carbs to Wired George in Texas and when they came back there were issues.  Thing one, the bike didn't run and was overflowing gas.  When I took the carb bank apart I discovered that one of the needle jets wasn't in place so that bowl wasn't shutting off.  Pretty sloppy.  Thing two, when I fixed that and put it all back together, it still didn't run.  Thinking now that since the parts bike (pictured) is running I'll swap out the carbs and see if the keeper bike (not pictured but in much nicer condition) then runs.  That will tell me something.  Delays the sale but more important to have all my keeper bikes running so that I don't have projects other than maintenance sitting around waiting for me to have some free time (insert insane laughter track here).

Next, decide which of the two little motorcycle trailers is a keeper and which can go away.  After suitable work and upgrade, of course.
