Well, it took about an hour to remove all but three small traces of the EFI project from Buzz. What’s left is the CLT sensor, securely JB Welded to the cylinder head, the FIDLE LED and the O2 sensor bung, plugged with a sparkplug.<\/p>\n

The airbox was as much fun to put in as it was to remove. \":)\"<\/p>\n

I began cleaning the stock carburetors late this afternoon. By the time I was tired enough to not want to start another, I’d cleaned three of them. The last one has been completely disassembled and the solvent-safe parts are soaking in Berryman’s Chem-Dip.<\/p>\n

Buzz will need a plug for where the O2 sensor was removed, the fuel petcock reinstalled in the tank, the carburetors reinstalled and a battery to be ready to start. After that, a thorough and serious cleaning is in order and he’ll be ready to ride or sell.<\/p>\n
