Stripping Eugene Down
Not much to document here. Taking apart a flatfender is real easy and
I've gotten it down to a science. This one took about 5 hours to strip
down to the frame, and that includes a compression test!
The plan from here is to pull the rest of the drivetrain, strip, clean,
rebuild and paint the axles and frame, then rebuild the motor. From there
I will work on the body.
The first
thing I checked was compression. I was hoping the motor was still
good. But as you can see in the photo, 70psi is not the recommended
90-110psi. Looks like I will be rebuilding the motor!

I found
treasure trove under the gas tank. Lots of spiders, money, and pine
needles.

Down to the
bare frame.

I inspected
the frame for damage and only found a small tear in the rear crossmember
where someone wrapped a chain around it. Also, the battery tray has
some rust. |
The motor and
components look good. Everything came off without busting any bolts! |
