Ha" classic , I"v missed this post,,, your near me too Wheres about in fife,

Welcome roadrunner" great bikes , i rode a 1N over ireland, short -quick handling...

Ah " good to hear from yeh again , looks like you"ve got the resto Bug "big time", with all them spares,,, lookn good . keep us updated,,

Lets see some music from back then, This was when we were on mopeds,

Welcome lee" slipping could be wrong gear oil, change this first, Standing long time usually sticks plates together, not slip,,

I used a diesel - petrol mix [ out a car that had wrongly filled] in my sthil saw, it ran ok, but smoked like hell, i dont know what ratio,tho.

Welcome fatti " i had problem with Zl900, same, it was clutch swich connection, dirty,

Have a lookee at this perfect for a poser "

It was high level on dpstick, probably due to the over fueling issue, that bang earlyier on post was fuel in exhaust, so possible filled sump with fuel too,,,

Hi chas " its caused by unburnt fuel igniting in the exhaust, have you removed the baffle"s,, as this effects back presure,

I said in a thread years ago " these money grabbing part-timers [ 3 day week] are gonna bust the country, they strip the clubs , who then owe the banks, then they go bust, , banks near bust too. Then these greedy bastards swan off to the next sucker , fkn leeches ,, prime example= nicholas Anelka

Aye bonnie " only gripe i heard of is oil light [ bulb] Q_ Cynic = Sereously tho , fuel tanks are paper thin / my mate has one , he says cranks are fit for only 6000mls,, dont kno if that true,

Groucho" shes a lass " Well done elmmet" . never seen you at squires this year,,,,

Yip . i know what you mean , restorations are worse, as you need to replace most rusty or knackered parts, every cuboard and drawers are full of spare parts, ,, the cost, never count , as is a hobby, ,, jut like the golfer pays his yearly fees etc, Just be glad we can , as some day we wont be fit to ride the bikes,

Welcome dave," take it easy for a start, ,,, busy place that surry, i worked in Carshalton rd in 2004,

Hi tiler" yeh that little 2 stroke will show that bonnievile a clean pair of heels ,, fast handling too.. i"v heard they have dodgy oil lights tho"

Welcome " there are posts on bobbers , & draggy owners a plenty on here,,,

Never use water to test for leaks" if it was to suck any in " its bang, bent conrod, use Wd40 it burns, ,, the smoke " is it puffs ? ie, under presure? or just burning off spilt oil, and the running without choke" is the air filtre attached, as will not run properly without, if filtre is on, then its pilot jet,,

Welcome maceg" thats a new one on me,,,, subody will pop in with info,,
