Bought this bike on Saturday without knowing anything about bikes, just passed my CBT and loved the look of this bike so much that I had to get one.

As I didn't know what I was doing its been a steep learning curve. This morning I didn't even know what a carburetter was.

here's a list of repairs/issues I think I've identified:

Fuel tap does not fully shut off

fuel line leaking - temp fixed and ordered replacement

carb overflow does not stop leaking fuel

no air filter

air filter housing has had hole cut into it - ordered replacement from a breaker

rust/ dirt in fuel tank

revs 3000 at idle - resolved

oil tube that goes to carb was leaking - fixed this

apart from whats listed above seems ok.

Nice bike jamie, be good to get her reliable eh?

nearly there now I hope,

New fuel tap, fuel line fitted

carb cleaned - now its clean and with new fuel tap seems to only overflow if tap is left on, will keep an eye on this

replacement air filter box installed (from breakers)

rust/ dirt in fuel tank - I'm using hammerite rust remover

revs 3000 at idle - resolved now at pretty constant 1500ish

oil tube that goes to carb was leaking - fixed this

waiting for filter element to arrive and need to put gas tank back on tomorrow.

after all this lot should be ready to rock and roll.
