Got if fired up and running last night, for sitting since 71 it's got some compression. After the marvel mystery oil burned out of the ports and pipe it's not smoking at all. Fingers crossed.
couple little thngs left. Put timing cover and chain gaurd on. Make sure wiring is hooked up right (I hope) and maybe swap the carb, the del is a bit finicky.
Nice looking Monza. Glad to see someone keeping it original, not turning it into a cafe like everyone else nowdays. It has got its own style, and it looks great in silver and black. I would suggest the original decals for the tank (flying eagle) to give it even more OEM flavor. Just my two cents. Please post some pics on motoscrubs board if you have not already. Dan
In all seriousness, this didn't take much more than elbow grease and a crap load of steel wool.
She's a 20 footer at best.
I did blast the tin in my Harbor Frieght special cabinet blaster since it was all jacked up. Rattle canned it sliver (using primer of course) I didn't use gloss over it, nor did I use any filler, I just shot it as is since everything else looks "well used"
Everything else was just wiped down and/or scrubbed with steel wool. I rebuilt the carb and replaced the chain, tires and throttle cable.
That's it folks. I'll probably leave it as is and ride the crap out of it.
Decals could be found in lots of places. Guzzino.com, bevelheaven.com, domiracer.com etc. Certainly don't pay $70 for them. Try in $25-30 range.
P.S. Make sure you get a pair (they have to be mirror images of each other) rather than 2 identical ones. It maybe obvious, but I have seen people come in with two same ones asking to put one on each side of a gas tank ;-) Dan
I bought some of the 6x3 decals not paying attention.When they got to me, I laughed, they were huge, twice the size of Diana tank decals.I guess I'll put them on the side of my Ducati hauler.
