Today I got the old oil drained out, about 3 liters came out, very dark and stuffed with gasoline. Put some fresh (ish) oil in and tried to turn her over to see if there's any hope. After a bit of persuading, the starter kicked in and there's life! Nothing's stuck and everything seems to...

I didn't get much done today afterall, I didn't have a JIS screwdriver, and the only shop I found that had a set, only had up to size 1... so I ordered one off ebay, coming in a week and a half, hopefully. The one you linked, buz, doesn't ship to Norway, unfortunately. I got a pack of fuel...

Pretty much all things on Amazon ship to Norway, though I can't seem to find the exact one you mentioned. I'll check with the dealerships I know of to see if they have anything. Waiting for a week for something as simple as a screwdriver is not really my first choice. While I'm at the Yamaha...

I don't think I have JIS screwdriver.. I should get one! I was spraying the screws with some kind of regular rust solvent, it worked pretty well on all the other screws. Thanks!

Alright, so today I got the tank washed out. (Duct tape does not hold up well against gasoline). I believe I got most of the grime and stuff out of it, but if there's anything left it'll go into the fuel filter. Believe it or not, this is supposed to be gasoline... There was so much grime I...

Thank you, sir, I'll try that out once I get her running again. If there's anything plentiful on this bike, it would be rust.

Thank you for the input, buz. Tonight I got the tank off, going to attempt to clean out some of the muck in there by pouring some gas through, trying to wash out the rust particles and such. There are so many bumps on the liner, rust spots, that I think keeping it as-is and not relining it will...

As an aside; if anyone has any idea who exported this beauty, or whereabouts it was located in the US, that would be very helpful. I sadly do not have the US registration number, and the guy who imported it kicked the cancer bucket a few years back. What I do have, however, is the VIN...

A couple weeks back I bought myself a new project bike. This is my first real restoration project (and my first bike, technically). Today I finally got the old girl home, a 1982 Seca, imported to Norway from the US back in '99. She was sat down in Bergen for a couple weeks after I bought her...
