I am going to try this. Thanks.

I think this thing has been just sitting. The gunk is un-real.

Ok I just sprayed some brake cleaner into it. I can not beleive it. But it freed it up. It is turning like a top now.

I just got the manual in the mail. Now off to read it.

Thanks Ron, I did not take it harshly at all. I get dumb questions like mine all day in my field too. I just hate asking them. So I am sorry for that.

Thanks Ron, I got this bike after it had been disassembled. So I don't know how it should be to start with. The parts I am keeping in bags that are marked. But all your help is very welcome. Many eyes are better than two. Thanks again for your input. I hope you have more.

Doug, I will need all the seals and gaskets. And what do the rings look like? I don't see any on the piston. Shouldn't there be at least two? I know that sounds stupid, but I am new to this and It has been opened before to some extent.[B)]

Mac, I do want to look at the tranny and the bearings. Everything seems to be really stiff. Just waiting on the manual now. I thought I would have it today, but with Christmas here I am sure it will be late. What I have now is the main body with the head and covers off. Also the magnito aluminium cover is off and I see the key. The engine is off the bike and on the floor. The chain sproket and nut are still on. As well as the red portion of the ignition. I can't get the screws loose that hold the main body together.

Thanks Doug, great info. I am just waiting to get the manual now. I ordered it so it should be here tomorrow. I wonder what is making it so stiff to move the piston. It maybe in gear?

Doug, I am ordering the manual monday. I pulled the cover off the magnito. Now it is just the red part. I can get to the screws behind it now. Should I take them off? Or the ones on the body of the engine? I tried but they will not turn so I stopped till I get the manual. Should I, or Could I go any farther? Thanks for all the help.

Thanks for the numbers. I will order one Monday. I hope it tells me what all I need to know.

OK Doug, I got the nut off. Now do I need the puller to take the rest off? Oh, Do you guys mind me asking this stuff?? If so I will just go for it. If not I will seek your help. Just let me know. Thanks.

Thanks, So what way should I turn this to get it off? It does not seem to turn in either direction. P.S. it says Motoplat on it. Man thanks for all the help.

Yes, you can use Brasso. It is used to do most metal polishing. But jewelers use it in watch crystals even. Just rub it on and be patient. Keep rubbing until it is smooth. Then polish it off. It takes some time but it is worth doing. Small circles work best.

The electronico?? Seems to be hard to get off. it is turning the piston when I try to undo it. Is that normal? Is it an alternater or a generater?
