One more PX is in queue for its final treatment. Owner is an old friend. This one started pre-COVID as a top end re-bore. He brought me his cylinder to take it to my machinist and the rest of the scooter was getting prepped by someone for a respray, without taking it apart (we call it a splodge respray here). Anyways, cylinder was ready and then he calls me and tells me that the engine looks like it's stuck. Brings me the scooter and the horror!!!
Apparently the guy that was prepping it, wasn't being careful while wet sanding it, resulting in the engine getting seized cause of water. So, he then decided to go for a proper restoration. Engine was overhauled (found him a good used crank) and is waiting on the shelf two years now, since his job got hit by COVID and he was trying to save money for the rest...
Finally, we're reaching the finish line. Frame and "peripherals" were done two weeks ago and everything's on my porch waiting in line...
Updates to come...
