Well... it was a rough day, to say the least. Took out a spark plug last night on cylinder 1 and it was an exercise and took forever! Today I took out the cylinder 2 spark plug and it came out like a used spark plug should. I moved on to cylinder 3 and 4 and they both snapped on me, leaving chunks stuck in the threads. I tried an extraction tool and it also snapped... I was pretty livid! So, I have no idea what I will do about that one. So, I moved on to the stator. It was pretty much filled with powder... Just great! I turned the engine over by hand, so that's one positive. I Took the airbox and carbs out next, which was more of the same. They were nasty, rusty and corroded. I never thought the engine would be this much of a mess. I Should have listened and started with a bike that at least ran... Not sure what my plan of attack is yet.
