Derbi—The Red Power: Preparing for Installation
Posted: Fri Jun 07, 2019 5:39 pm
Soon it will be time to install the 075 engine into the Malossi bike, so it needs to be prepped.
It’s such a shame this faux tank was cracked by the wind blowing the bike over.
This bike had gotten amazingly dirty under the skirts!
I had a lot of trouble cleaning the carb. This one is coming off of the bike, so I’ll have a better opportunity to clean it, but yeah the CP carbs don’t clean up nicely!
I pulled the front brake system off. I have some replacement pistons and seals on the way for the caliper. If they get here in time I'll use them, other wise I'm just going to do a good cleaning on the caliper, as I noticed it was sticking.
This radiator hose will need to be replaced! Fairly quickly it was time to pack things up for the day. Tomorrow maybe the bottom end of the engine can get installed!
