Stripping it Down

Stripping down the bike was pretty straight forward. Took a long time because everything was pretty rusted, the hardest part was taking out the swing-arm bolt. Used some wd-40, dead blow hammer, and a 6 pack of beer. It came out eventually. Divided all the bolts into plastic cups and labeled them for each section of the bike. I suggest putting a cinder-block under the engine before taking everything apart, or a milk crate. It'll make things go a hell of a lot more smooth.

After removing the front wheel, triple tree, fork assembly, and the swingarm assembly, I proceeded by removing the engine. That was a pain in the fucking ass. All of the engine mount bolts were rusted pretty horribly. Luckily for me, none of them snapped while coming out. After pulling off the engine, I took of the primary chain case cover. Shit was dirty. Real dirty.

Grimey as all fuck.

The original plan was to restore the engine. But after research, there was hardly any parts out there for this little old thumper. I ended up finding a 150cc Hensim engine online for 200 bucks, brand new. Hensim is a company that produces Honda clone engines. Almost identical, exact same mounting points for this bike. So, unfortunately for this bike, it would be parted with its original engine.

Degreasing the original engine.

For anybody interested, here is the link for 110-200cc vertical Honda clone engines. I called up the shop, and they shipped it to me for 50 bucks. A total of 250 dollars for a brand flippin new engine. Good deal.
