The Grizzly had been sitting for the last 5-6 years outdoors and untouched. It was in horrible shape. The guy that owned her before, had no respect for it. He just left it out in the woods for years in the elements.
It was covered in black mold, the water had been sitting in the diff protector plate and rusted the rear of the frame, the carb (ofcourse) was in horrible shape, the left rear axle and bearing were shot, all of the switches and such were less than desired –
Well, it looks like we’ve rescued the lost bear. She’s back to life and she has got new breath.
I’ve completely disassembled it, cleaned it, painted the frame, rebuilt the carb, replaced the axle and bearing, changed all the fluids and last night — I backed it out of the basement under its own power.
She seems to be extremely strong. Everything works as it should 100%- I need to put some more miles on her and dial in the carb – but other than that – it looks like we’ve got a Grizzly to enjoy.
Seriously, though – thanks for this forum, I’ve done lots of searching and reading here behind the scenes. I don’t think I would be at this stage of the rebuild if it weren’t for you guys and all of your knowledge.
Thanks millions. – John
