Posted December 9, 20159 yr Bought as a bike which wouldn't start in the wet, with no MOT in Nov 2014 - it's taken me almost exactly a year to work through the things that needed sorting - these included a fuel system clogged with jellied ethanol, a suspect TCI box (replaced with Ignitech unit), carbs that needed a thorough overhaul, exhaust fitting and stud problems, and a dragging clutch. Jellied Carb Float Bowls Main Jet needed a clean Mikuni BS32 Carb jigsaw You could eat your dinner off these now! The end result
December 9, 20159 yr Nice job mate, you must be well chuffed. These old bikes deserve to be looked after and they are fun to ride.

Great Bikes!.......put over 130k miles on mine I can't quite strip and rebuild them blindfolded - but it's close. And I even know where both the detent balls, and their teeny weeny springs go - (apart from under the fridge, that is)!
