[QUOTE="Dynamiteboss, post: 135375, member: 2616"] Thank you Peter, I have already started “fiddling” with cleaning it, so I need to proceed. I have soaked the UFM with kerosene for a week, agitated the kerosene using a long spring, and drained the resultant crud. I have done this several times, and plan to do it several more. My feelings (hopes?) are that the screen in the tank (currently removed) will keep any big pieces of crud from getting into circulation, with the oil filter then doing its job before the oil is sent on to bearings etc. I inspect the crud after draining, and to date haven’t found any grit or large metal particles. This is an old unrestored bike, last operated in the late 1980’s, that I am trying to coax back to life for occasional weekend use. [ATTACH type="full"]40693[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
