        Should I soak parts in gasoline, diesel, paint thinner?

        Im leaning towards gas, as it will evaporate off.

          Nope, mostly referring to:

          "Get a small blower motor
          Run belt off engine to said blower
          Run ducting form blower output to custom made fiberglass airbox
          Supercharge the sucka"

          and the fact that old scoots rule

              Oh yes... piston is free. Head and cylinder and valves are off.

              All I need is a good parts soak, cylinder bored, and new piston!

                  Update....

                  - Flywheel cover has been polished, though still has a couple deep scratches
                  - Whole engine has been scrubbed (with help from Gunk)
                  - Cylinder honed slightly, part above where it was sized had some issues
                  - Stator off, it rusted to oblivion so I salvaged the thousand feet of copper wire off it for moneyzz
                  - Top end scrubbed and cylinder head slightly ported
                  - Valve guides smoothed with some lapping compound

                  I just dropped $95 in parts for a new stator, magneto, points plate, and cover to cover it all. Hmm hope this thing works. All the electrical is jacked up. And the nut holding the magneto onto the crankshaft is all rusted, and you cant torque it all all or the engine will just turn over. So gotta mount the engine up and have a fatboy sit on it so I can torque the sucka.

                  Video of it running (hopefully) this weekend. Granted if my parts come in before then :)

                          Well all my dreams never happened. Im getting out of the garage over to my buddy's, and we are going to finish the electrical soon. Maybe even start it today. Hmm. Anyways yeah engine is all put back together. I have a new stator and flywheel. They are both from a ct90, but will work fine. Well not the flywheel... i dont have a flywheel puller for this.

                          This thing is so beautiful, patina and all. Photoshoot soon with the new D3100

                            Sounds like your getting some work done!

                            I want to get a littl ruckus to mess around with and put around town in.

                            Good luck with the rest!
