    well I've been off this week before I go to Belgium with the scouts. so far, I've stripped most of the carbs and a load of water/fuel/rust powder came out still got to get those pesky float pins and 2 stubborn drain screws put on new carb rubbers, just lined the tank with POR15 from Frost (£38 for the kit) so its all sealed now rewiring the stator as the old wires were oil soaked and were going to fail. put on a new front sprocket as the old one was starting to hook! will take out tensioner and give it a clean, Black epoxy sprayed the alternator cover and sprocket cover. do a bit more tomorrow and then clean the house before the family gets home from Rome
