Thanks for your thoughts. I do expect to have the top-end redone. But who
knows maybe I'll get lucky. I'm going to give it to go with seafoam and
I'll report back. Cheers.

My dad's a seasoned and certified motorcycle mechanic for over 40 years and
recommends the same thing. However, he is also the type to recommend stop
leak in radiators and has blown engines because of thinking like that.
Dad's not dumb by any means but that doesn't mean his advice is always
right

Yeah I've tended to think the same about Sea Foam. But the shop owner
recommended it, and he is a seasoned professional mechanic. Says he's seen
it work in practice. As a hack home mechanic, I'm not really in a position
to doubt him.
BTW, the carbs have already been cleaned and rebuilt.

Omg. Seafoam? Really? Lol... Sorry but that's not a fix that a shop should
be recommending... You're better off taking the carbs apart and
meticulously going th rough every single orface to clean it. Seafoam is
nothing more than glorified butane.

Thanks, I also got advice from local shop. But they recommend Sea Foam in
crankcase. I've only run it on the center stand for about 30 minutes and

road for 40 minutes, let cool, add Sea Foam, run on road for 40 minutes,
Wow that was a big change in compression! Good to know.

Compression check showed 80lbs in that cylinder. My problem was stuck
piston rings from sitting for years. I mixed acetone and atf 50/50 and
poured into cylinder, let soak for a week. This brought compression up to
120 ,
100 psi is not bad, bike should run. Something else is going on

So a few weeks ago I purchased a 1983 NH 650 to restore. It has 17k miles and
hadn't been started for years. I installed new battery and rebuilt the carbs.
The compression with cold engine was 130 PSI for all cylinders with throttle
closed (forgot to hold it open). At first it started up and
12 matches
