With regards to your wiring path, the manual shows you exactly where to route each section. With your tank, pool acid really works well, I have used it on about 5 tanks and it works great. If it is badly rusted I first add a few hand fulls of nuts and bolts with old fuel to get the big rust off and then use the pool acid. After that coat the inside with Kreem fuel tank liner. Problem solved for life.

Thanks !

i use apple cider vinegar. It takes longer, might take 2 or 3 days of soaking but it wont eat through what good metal is left. Use gravel or bbs or nuts to shake the big chunks out. Might take a few rinses to get it to come clean but it will be spotless when you're done. Be sure to rinse a few times with water followed by alcohol, then oil the inside until you're ready to coat.

Hey all - sorry it's been radio silence here for quite some time but life happens, ya know!! I didn't give up on her !!!! Moved in a new house with a bigger workshop so more projects!! Got back into the BR!! Here's some pics !
About to run through the electrical system.. Never had a battery in it before - any recommendations? Is it a standard ATV battery?
Also, I put the gas tank project on hold and opted for the plastic one for now. I plan to ride and use this machine so maybe later on I'll get one of my original tanks redone..
I really dont like the China carb so I decided to rebuild the OEM carb and found the choke plunger is frozen. I was able to remove it but unfortunately during the process I broke the slide arm. (I threw a lot of things around and cussed a lot.. cant believe I did that !!!) Luckily I have a spare parts carb from an 85 for that.. I have a Shindy rebuild kit ordered.
ITP universal rims, tubes and tires mounted (that was fun lol). Rear/front brake cables and foot brake cables are here. Right now I'm looking for cable routing information so if anyone has that please let me know =]
Other than that she's going together fine so hopefully after next week we will have a rolling and ridable unit on our hands.

Well, I been pushing a bit to get her trail ready by memorial day and it looks like we made it. Here she is in all her "glory".. She's not as pretty as some out there but mechanically she runs perfect. Been putting her to work around the yard. Amazing how even after all these years I can hop on it and ride er' just as I did when i was 19!! After this memorial day weekend ride I'm going to take the plastics off and paint them with Krylon to try and get the deeper "honda" ATC red again.. Gonna' take all the bent front/rear racks off and try to repair.. Sandblast and paint them as well. I dont really like the looks of the plastic tank but even if I did have one of my metal tanks in good enough working order to put on the machine I'd probobly run the plastic in fear of damaging the metal one.. I'll get to it one day
Here's some pics for all to enjoy. 3WW is an awesome community and great resource! Thanks everyone!

Catch me if you can
You know you could wet sand and buff the plastics to get them deep shiny red again.
