After a bit of fettling with the carbs,she’s running the best she has for the last couple of years,starts first time and picks up cleanly,the real test will be when the weather warms up a bit more as last year the hot weather messed the running up,for that 1 day of summer we had. Cleaned her and photo before locking the shed

Got to work with some GT 85 and some scotchbrite and the disc came up pretty good,need to do the other one next but quite pleased with how it looks compared to the non refurbished one
