It looks like you need a carb body for cylinder number 6. I checked Nils' stash of carb bodies today and we do not have a loose number 6.

I'm sure I have a #6 carb body if you still need one.

Thanks Joe for checking. I took pictures of the carb body that Nils asked for, but since I know he's out of town I haven't sent them. Yes, it is the #6 and I need one eventually.
Dave, if you have one you are willing to let go, I'd buy it from you. If you'd rather keep it, I can shop around still. Just let me know. If you want to email me off the forum, my email is sixpinyoda@gmail.com

Update: I have everything apart except for the removal of the two metal plates from the frame. It's so odd to me seeing a bare frame on my bench, when not too long ago, it was a complete motorcycle. I have pictures and videos that I will be sharing here.

I will post more stuff on here. I just need to put it together. This is where I'm at currently.

Ok so I can't attach that picture, so I'll have to figure it out later.

MANY owners skip this essential step in a proper carb cleaning.
Thanks for the video.

Sorry I haven't posted much lately. I've been on graveyards the last three weeks while we refuel the reactor and I've got another two to go. I'll try and get pictures on here tomorrow night.

Glad to see you’re still progressing!

Ok, someone needs to update the "how to post pictures". I clearly did it before, but can't figure it our for nothing. I'll keep trying.

I just use the “attachments” feature (below the box for text entry when making or editing a post), when posting in the full editor. First you upload files, and once they are uploaded you place the cursor where you want the photo and go back down to that pane and click “Place Inline”. You can upload multiple photos per post and insert them that way. Takes a little practice, certainly not rocket surgery .

You can also “hotlink” from a photo hosting service like SmugMug, but that’s a little complicated to explain.

Finally got to the bare frame
Got the placards off safely even though the other one is damaged
Here's the tool I made for the steering nut. The socket cost me $1.50 at an estate sale

Thanks Nils for the help. I'm finally off of nights, so hopefully I can get stuff posted and start buying a few things.

Look at you uploading photos!

Looking good!

P.S. If you’re powdercoating, ask them to inspect that banana shaped section near the foot pegs before they coat it. They can rust out in some circumstances,
