Meh.. with the boredom of waiting for parts in the mail, I cleaned the rust off the chain cover and treated the metal, then patch a small hole that was down the bottom. Looked like someone had cut it out for easy lubing of the reel chain..odd..just used the blue hammer finish I got for the deflector. It's nowhere near the original but it'll do for now to keep the rust at bay. I also sprayed the shroud and heat shield with engine paint and did the tank and airbox while I had the carby off just because..well.. I was bored. So bored I also gave the front roller a vinegar bath and a scrub with steel wool to removes the surface rust. On positive news the new diaphragm and gaskets arrived in the mail today. Got a bit of work on tomorrow so hopefully will have it all back together Friday and see if it starts or not.
