Dumb question #1: Can I go to Lowes, TSC, Home Depot, etc. and buy an assortment of metric bolts to use where some are missing? (like bolt that holds on the gas tank, fenders, grab bar, etc. -- mostly frame parts)?
i.e., are the thread pitches and diameters 'standard' (not standard as in SAE or USS 1/4"); you know, of a standardized metric size?
Dumb question #2: What will work for shining up the plastic? Take some minor scratches off and make it shine?
Dumb question #3: What size is the spark plug hole; need an adapter for my dad's compression tester.
DQ #4: What PN for spark plugs? Can't read the one I got :oops:
DQ #5: If I can find an adapter, what amount of compression do I need to shoot for? Maybe I can lap the valves and get it up there, it don't smoke any and is chirping / backfiring thru the carb a little....
Sounds like I need a Haynes or Clymer book huh? Which is better?...
All help appreciated; will post pics when done, I got the '82 70 running Saturday but it seems low on compression / power...
The 83 110 is next... then the ugly hybrid w/ bad plastic and baseball bat 'muffler'...
