Hi All,

I've finally been able to get back to getting my ol girl back on the road so I thought I would post in the resto section in the hopes that some or any of this could be useful to folks. I've already gone thru about 60% of the bike, mostly simple things, like spline lube, mounting new tires, rebuilding the seat, cleaning the starter motor and alternator, LED light kit and ventilation in the instrument cluster, brake caliper rebulid, and very modest re-finishing where required like the centerstand and battery compartment. The download section and the members of this board have been a huge help with all this and I simply wouldn't have been able to do it without these resources so kudos to Bert and all you fine members!
Anyway, the bike has a fuel delivery problem, way rich, which was one of many reasons why I was able to get her at a very cheap price so I will be concentrating on going thru the fuel system from tank to engine as per Bert's flow sheet, and I'm sure some other small things will be posted as well as one thing usually, Ok always, leads to another. Shocked

Hey Folks,
So after reading K-bike's post on electricity I couldn't help but dig out my little multi meter and sneak out into the garage for a little break and I learned some good stuff. Started with the airflow meter as it cleaned up well and the flapper worked smoothly and I was eager to test if the sensor was causing any problems. At first I couldn't even get a stable reading on the meter and I thought maybe it was going to have to be replaced with a better quality unit, but after a closer look I saw that the pins were in pretty tough shape with a lot of buildup on them. So after some very fine sand paper and than a little cheap electrical cleaner a nice steady reading comes up on the meter. :-) After a final treatment of Deoxit Gold reading dropped a couple more points to pretty much right on target for my room temp as per Bert's Temp/Resistance graph. So as many of the experienced guys always say clean those connections! Smile

Got the rest of the fuel system pulled last night and started to clean things up in my little tank. Found an inexpensive shop to send the fuel injectors out to be cleaned and serviced after all the resistors tested out OK in the 16 ohm range.

85 RS restoration (part #1) Dscf0624

Getting the injectors out was a bear so definitely go at them one at a time with wiggling them about 15-30 degrees off center really helping, thanks Bert! The four manifold stacks were in Ok condition and cleaned up well, but the four rubber plenum boots were not in such good shape. Two of the four were split half way around and this was not apparent when they were mounted on the bike.

So I've ordered new boots and clamps and hopefully all will be in by the end of next week. Fingers crossed!

Harbor freight tools for $69.99 and its some of the best money I've spent on a tool. Once I realized I was in a long term relationship with the ol K I started using a silly amount of brake cleaner! Shocked This is much cheaper long term and soo much easier.

great job .......thanks for the pics as well

at a guess i would be thinking the clean up of the flow meter would be getting your mixtures back closer to normal and a bonus for doing the rubbers on the throttle bodies.
did you replace the crankcase breather tube / what condition was it in ?

How will you sync the flow after rebuilding?
I`d love to do the same job as you`ve done but I`m a bit worried to mess with the synchronisation of the four inlets.
Please feel free to share your experience.

Wilkur,

I just took at feeler gauge, a 0.25 or 0.35 I think, laid it up against the inside of the TB throat and marked where the butterflies closed down on it.
Certainly not a flow bench, but I'm thinking it should be sufficient.

just a quick update today as I'm taking care of some house projects. Pulled the water connector and the temp sensor last night actually found a fair amount of gasket maker material wrapped around the sensor so I'm sure that wasn't helping accurate readings! Anyway, after some side by side testing with a new unit it appears my sensor is fine. Will need to get a new water hose as it was the last one I haven't replaced and is starting to show those tell tale signs of very fine cracks and bulging.

Will probably do the radiator and clean the fan motor while I'm there and injectors should be arriving by Tues. Rubber and clamps already arrived so hopefully next weekend she is up and running again with proper fuel mix.

Finally got the seat reassembled after a little resto so I thought I would post the results. The seat originally had a couple of tears in it and had definitely seen better days with the handles having a few cracks as well. This was all done on the cheap with stuff I had around the garage mostly, and than I purchased a cover from an Ebay vendor for around $50. There are basically two vendors on the US EBay doing quality covers. One is a two piece design and the other is one piece. I went with the one piece design as I liked the OEM look more, but the one draw back to this is that the cover doesn't lie perfectly flat on the foam even with the batt installed underneath as recommended. I'm thinking this may require a partial re-stretch and installation of new revits once the fabric stretches out some more after use. Anyway, a fairly cheap straight forward fix to a common problem on bikes that have seen a lot of weather.

Re-did the handles with simple body shop supplies.

Seat foam was in fairly good shape except for some damage on the bottom from all the rust. Just covered this up with a piece of Dynomat as I've used this on my cars for years and loved it. Great for reducing NHV! Pan had extensive rust and I stripped it and sandblasted, applied a rust sealer, and than put a top coat of the bedliner on it as the rust sealer isn't UV stable.

Purchased some 1/8"x 5/16" rivets at the hardware store, applied a layer of quilting batt, like $5 at wallmart, and simply stretched and riveted the new cover over the cushion.

I tried that same seat cover (from Canada?), and had the same issue of not laying entirely flat in the contours. I eventually gave up and bought a good used seat, and sold my other one.

Regarding the rubber mounts between the head and TBs, use a sealant to seal to the head, in addition to the o rings and allen head bolts. Prone to leaks otherwise (ask me how I know). I think TWB also said the same in his write up.

Yep, C it was the one from Canada. I looked used as well, but couldn't find anything in my price point that wasn't beaten to death. If the re-stretch doesn't go well I might look into those new non-OEM seats they are selling at Motobins. Thanks much for the heads up on the manifold leakage! Did you just use a liquid gasket like ThreeBond 1194?

Hey Folks,

Just a quick update as I've been workin my tail off! Finally got some bags for the old girl and a used tankbag as well. No cracks in the bags but they definitely need some resto work and will be in a later installment. Parts should arrive tomorrow so some proper work can be done this weekend. Time to get the old girl running again!

Pulled the radiator and fan and that was simply a thing of joy. After pulling off the rubber rad guard its just one allen bolt and the rad. swings forward from the bottom, disconnect the fan plug and hoses and it's out. Cleaned up the head with some acetone and will be sealing the manifolds up tonight. Will also be cleaning and lubing the fan while its out too.

Hope to get some more progress posted up tonight. Just been real busy this week!

Fantastic resto job that you are doing, the induction parts are a joy to behold in pristine as new condition by the look of them.

For fan motor oil on an MB list I inhabit where debates rage long and hard about oils and people debate exactly how many angels can dance on the head of a pin so to speak, the consensus was that ATF oil was the best for fan motors. Several used engine oil and it did not last as long as ATF. Personally I favour mixing in a little molybdenum disulphide for use in a bush bearing or even some titanium nitride just mixed in with the oil.
Regards,
K-BIKE

Thanks K. All you guys have been great with all the assistance and encouragement!

There are always multiple ways to get the job done with regards to lubes and fluids. I'm always a little surprised how excited people seem to get about their choices. Sounds like we have similar taste as the Microlon oiler is very similar to the nitride mixed in the oil.

Scored some activator at Napa so intake manifolds are in and curing. Little dab of oil on the injector o-rings as per Bill's instructions and they popped right in. :-) Time to run some cables and then its on to testing the tank.

OG - That's going to be one fine looking machine, I'm sure once up and running it will be trouble free for many miles.
Great stuff

Hey Chrish.
I just used ThreeBond 1194 and some surface prep activator as its still cold here. This combo worked on a very stubborn water/oil pump that I thought I was going to have to get lapped to seal it. Anyway, just make sure to at least let it cure overnight.

Finally found a tank bag on Flea-Bay so I think I'm finally set for luggage. :-)
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction TWB!
