Please tell me you're going to paint that motor black.

**Honda200s84** · 08-03-2011, 10:48 AM

sorry guys, i went on a suprise trip with my parents, but im back!

motor should be painted today..but i still havent sotten the parts i need to put it back together yet

**Honda200s84** · 08-03-2011, 01:06 PM

so..today i went over to our small engine repair shop and he had a flywheel puller, and let me use it for free!
so i figured out my no spark problem..there was bits of the exciter coil stuck to the flywheel..yay..so i ordered a new one, when it gets here i will put the motor in.

**Honda200s84** · 10-26-2011, 08:01 PM

ok, now that break time is over.. lets finish this thing!!!
i bet you guys thought i forgot about you?? well..truth is i lost interest with this mid summer and now im back on it because my freind wants it done, haha.

i have the forks attatched to the frame and i just installed the rear bearings and seals, and the tank is at my buddies body shop getting the dents pulled.

i still need to get,
coil assembly
recoil
and possibly a rear axle, because i think i f'ed up the threads on one side.

Dude, looks good, can't wait to see the finished and runnin, good work!

i gotta question, would flat black engine paint look ok?? i cant find high heat gloss black to save my life!!

**DasUberKraut** · 10-26-2011, 10:41 PM

I think flat is 100 times better than gloss. I personally have never been a fan of gloss black in any application.

Also, I can't wait to see the CAT project completed. Such a unique idea.

does anyone have any tips for painting the engine or is it as easy as it seems??

**willreed03** · 10-27-2011, 02:43 PM

It's pretty easy, just clean it real well and tape off all the holes and bolts and lines and whatnot that you don't want painted. I use a scotch brite pad to rough it up and then clean it again with paint prep cleaner/degreaser, or if you can't or don't want to get it some acetone or carb cleaner will work. Then paint. Drink beer and watch dry. Enjoy

Well, when I have shipped to Canada in the past the "Buyer" which is you would pay all of the fees once it gets to the courier service in Canada. Let me do a little more research on that. What is your postal code.

If the part you need is behind the flywheel you need the stator or the primary. I do not have either of those.

**Honda200s84** · 10-27-2011, 09:46 PM

ok, im hoping you guys can save me from buying a new rear axle. how would i fix stripped threads on the end of the axle??
