My A4 clean up......

Garry.L · #1 PostAuthor: **Garry.L** » Sat Jun 18, 2011 7:58 pm

After much searching I managed to get this A4 last month.....

She's pretty much original and unmolested, and Looks quite good in the pic, but a closer look reveals.....

So,while the tank and plastics are away with Richie at MFX for paint I started the clean up on the engine and frame etc, still lots to do but so far..

More as and when....

She scrubs up well Gary

.I would check the voltage regulator is working correctly before to long if I was you :wink:

. The clear plastic terminal on mine was beginning to melt :oops:

A new rec /regulator combo unit from Z power has fixed it now.

I'm tempted to say my Wife, but if she was then why would I be fooking around with old bikes when I'd have much better 'toys' to play with!. :lol:

Nice clean up by the way Garry, I too would be interested to know how you managed to clean the engine so well.

No real secret, just gunk and solvol along with a tootbrush and scotchpad........ and LOTS of elbow grease!. I also spray on a few coats of clear engine laquer which tends to even the tone and hide those dark/light patches which always remain no matter how much you clean the alloy.

A few more pic's....

Ah, mystery solved. Now I know why my bikes are never as clean as I would like, I used up all the elbow grease a long time ago.
