Hello Nate,

I started taking things apart tonight but I really need to slow down and reach for the digital camera. Some Kroil and Brake Kleen got the throttle slide to move a little. The slide is also quite stuck inside the carb and I don't want to break the throttle cable or scratch the throttle slide.

The piston must be stuck quite high in the cylinder bore because the Kroil, Brake Kleen and lighter fluid that I'm drenching the spark plug hole with runs out the exhaust port pretty quick. Hopefully, this witches brew is doing some good.

Has anybody ever used mild propane torch heat on the cylinder to help free up a piston??

Great idea on the magnetic oil drain plug. My other bikes have these and this bike will also.

Rick
