Advice on an RD 250 build

[sprouty115]

A little more progress today -

- Pistons, gaskets, seals and a bolt kit (for the cases - they were a mess!) all on order. Shopped around a little, got bored of trying to juggle the numbers in a spreadsheet six different ways and just ended up splitting the order between HVC Cycle and Economy Cycle.

- Pulled the gear shafts out and started to pull the forks and drum but it looks like there are no seals to worry about in those so I stopped.



- Cleaned up everything. All looked good, even the neutral switch assembly.



- Trying to sort out how to de-grease/clean the cases. Went to the auto-parts store but everything looked pretty toxic so I bought some Simple Green. But...the truth is, it doesn't really cut it for something like this. Need to do some further investigating. If anyone has any suggestions, I'll take them.

Also need a few miscellaneous screws in either cap or Phillips head. Will have to find an online source that sells in small quantities.
