250 Scrambler back from the dead
Posted: Fri Jun 05, 2015 6:23 am
Here are a few pics of a rebuild that I finished in April, the bike came from Aberdeen which had lay dismantled in a leaking shed for 35yrs. (sorry turned out a lot!)
First thing to do was seperate the narrow case bits from the wide case there was too much missing from the narrow case so that was sold off on fleabay.
The alloy was white and chrome was peeling chassis was also in a sorry state so off to the blaster and powders coaters for the chassis chrome was stripped and re-plated and elbow grease and an old high school polishing machine for the alloy.
Before and after
Crank was sent off the Carlo Leoncini to be rebuilt lightened and balanced in jig time ,turn around from Scotland to Italy and back in just over a week.
The motor was blasted first using ally oxide then bead blasted with glass beads before replacing bearings and seals.
The side stand had rotted away so fabricated a new one.
Chassis and other parts back from the powder coaters,
Electronic ignition and 12v generator fitted and wired.
The tank hade a few dings so they were removed and repainted.
Time consuming bits next joining all the dots then fabricate a silencer.
I have fitted stainless mud guards and kept them longer that the original which also involved making a new stay.
Almost ready for the mot better see if it fires up.
