Didn't they clear over the tank decals from the factory? When I was building mine I had picked up a set of tan plastics and got a tan tank from ebay that needed to be repainted. It had clear over the decals and I had to sand them down first to remove the old decals so I could finish sanding the whole thing.

That could've just been on that one tank, though. Maybe the PO did that or something. I haven't even thought to check my green tank since it's in good shape and doesn't need any work.

I forgot about the clear coat , I think your right ?, but, with a razor, and a steady hand, a person could trace-cut the decal out line, and still use a heat gun to get the decals off, I would think so anyway ?.

View attachment 69465 Thanks for the info on decals. I've decided to keep the old tank. The old man i purchased from rolled it and broke his knee. So his knee bent the tank. I'll keep it for character.

So here i do on the restore work. The first thing i did was add a 2" lift. Since there are no lifts that fit this 1991 model, i modified the HL 2" lift Kit by adding spacers. Note the rear shock support brakes was a bugger to get on so i recommend using a longer bolt (3.5") to give yourself a little more room when attaching the brakes to the brake drum housing.

Ok rookie question. What is the best way to post Photos?

I use the paper clip, browse pc pics, open, up load, easy. all can be done when replying to a post. won't work well on a phone though ?, I stay on here with my pc .

Valve Adjustment. So I followed the Service Manual on checking the valves. I found them set extremely tight. I adjusted them to the .006 or .15 mm rotated the crack a complete cycle back to top in and they valves were extremely lose at this point. Is this a timing chain issue.
