Today was a very good day :0
Had her running for a bit, but carb needs setting up, so I may be asking some questions depending on how that goes.
I might even take her for a cheeky ride up and down my road.

Well done Pete!

Did you leave the "crack" in the barrel in the end?

Thanks Mark, still a few bits to sort out but I couldn't resist a little go.

Alan I've left it for the moment, I'll deal with it when I remove the head and cylinder another time to give it a de-coke and coat of paint.
It doesn't appear that it's causing a problem but I'd like to take a look at it.

My mate Bernie rides a BMW 1100, he popped round to take a look at the finished bike and I talked him into having a go.
This is why he has a bike with an electric start :)
