Your pop's is a brave guy racing a bike with drum brakes!! His name isn't Fred Flintstone is it? :D

@Aussie50 you said in the title that it was a Suzuki bike, it's a Yamaha, sorry I had to say it even though it is basically irrelevant. Check the wiring harness for things earthing themselves that shouldn't be, or GFS (green fuzzy sh1t) on connectors, sounds like a massive resistance somewhere in the electrical system pulling a ton of current on the really small alternator.

@locouk lol drums are fine :D, not full on racing tho, just mucking around.

@romandybala yeh there isn't too much wrong, I just wanted to see if I could give it a good refresh for cheap, but thats not going to happen so it can go back as it is.
I will just buy a used rocker cover and new head gasket.
the cap tube on a gas heater is a wax stat, the pilot light heats the tip of it and the expanding pressure inside keeps the pilot on. if the pilot goes out, the stat shuts off the gas completely, as a safety mesure.

THAT MOTOR WILL RUN LIKE A DREAM. They were designed to be super low maintenance and can take a lot of abuse. Whack it back together with a bit of a buff with emery.
Off the topic a bit. How does the capillary tube on the pilot light on a central heating gas unit work . On temp. transfer or pressure buildup? Thanks
Wow, I knew diesel parts were expensive, but thats crazy! Was hoping to see it run.

@More350Power I have showed a few people who deal with Yanmar generators and they said it will run fine, but just a little tired.
these engines are damn hard to kill, and this one is good for another 20 years after a good hone and head gasket replacement
