Hi all,
I e-mailed the group a while back describing the Ambo 750 I purchased
for $200.00. I've been=20
working on the bike and currently I'm in the middle of the engine
rebuild. I purchased cylinder=20
kits and have reworked the heads. This weekend I'll be bluepriting (
checking dimensional specs)
to see how much machine work needs to be done so I can obtain the proper
bearings and bushings.
I need to find a timing gear cover if possible. It seems that the
previous owner may have used incorrect=20
bolts through the belt pulley. The bolts were to long and they gouged
the gear cover leaving a bad=20
interface for the crank seal. It can possibly be reworked if necessary.
I would also like to know where=20
the best place is to pick-up items normally needed for a rebuild. The
bike has set ideal since 1984. I
need to replace all the gaskets and seals from the rear-drive to the
fork seals. The last item(s) that I need are a generator, regulator,
generator holding straps and fasteners.=20
The group has been a great help so far and I really appreciate it.
