Yes, you read that right, today I attempt to get the engine running on my GPZ900R that literally sat in a barn for nearly 30 years rusting away!
This wasn't my initial plan, I wasn't expecting spark but when I realised I had it, and I'd already done the carburettors, I didn't think there would be much more to do... how wrong I was! The journey is far from over but we now know whether the engine is good or bad, or whether it need a little bit of TLC.
So I remove the spark plugs, check for spark, drain the oil, replace the oil filter, put new oil in, check for compression, put new sparks in, refit the carburettors and balance a make-shift petrol tank onto the handle bars. Can I get it started? Watch to find out! What could possibly go wrong?
I hope you enjoy watching this video as much as I enjoyed making it.
