Picked up a 1977 Honda Z50a to fix up and play around with, perfect bike to fit in the back of a Wrangler 4 door! Like a glove! It had a lot or “rube Goldberg” repairs of the last 42 years. I do not plan on doing a complete restoration, just want it to the point of looking good and being reliable. Amazing after all the abuse it has taken it runs good and doesn't even burn oil
List of items I repaired:
Rewind magneto ignition coil by hand
adjust points
repaired gas tanks hole
replace rear tube
clean repair carburetor
replaced kick starter
straighten forks
install neck bearings
fix stock throttle grip
Straighten handlebars
fix throttle grip
test ride!
