Completed the crankcase assembly by adding the side ecasings.
Again it turns out that there are a lot of screws missing.
This isn't such a big problem as I'd already decided to depart from "standard" in this respect and do what I did with the original bike.
I'm going to replace all the crappy philips head screws with allen screws wherever possible. By using steel screws you get a much better appearance and you avoid the knackered heads which inevitably occur with the alloy screws from Suzuki.
A few photos to show the slightly clean engine.
It is starting to be recognisable but there's a long long long way to go!!!
I have 75 GT250 I've been restoring this summmer myself!!
ReplyDeleteI've been suspicious of the oil injection pump and I've had troubles getting air out of the discharge lines. Tonight I snapped a line right at the banjo fitting and now I have to figure out how I'm going to fix that. I'm still uncertain if the oil pump itself is any good anymore...always running into something
