Another 2 months passes and I’m just posting a small amount of progress,Lh carb off the bike today.

Thought I’d check all screws etc will loosen ready for the fizzy bath and rebuild.

Found the previous owner didn’t use the right screwdriver and put 1 of the float bowl screws back in knackered...thanksO.o

Had to hacksaw across the screw to get it out,will replace later,everything else came loose just need to bath it all when I’m home again.

Back from abroad at last  :) carb stripped and cleaned today,will do the other one when I’m back again.

Need a trip to Allen’s performance to get a few replacement parts ready for the refurb,progress is slow but any progress is a bonus when you spend more time away than at home:)

Every time I post some progress here I look at the last date and it doesn’t seem to be coming together anywhere near fast enough,I can blame Christmas or work or whatever but it’s down to me making time,lost my enthusiasm for this 2 stroke money pit for quite a while.

A few cold hours in the shed today and a bit of progress at last,even planning some time tomorrow:)

Fitted new headraces and bearings today,refitted the triple clamps and temp fitted the forks:tu

Depending on the size of my hangover tomorrow it will or won’t affect further progress Sunday  O.o

i bought one of these from pagetts in batley many moons ago.....thanks to student loans, i had enough crayons and shoplifted most of my meals for the next few years.

:D I could do with a student loan to get it finished....just need to find a student that needs to rent a room....Rosemary have we got the cash from their wallet before I wall them up.........O.o if you need me I’ll be in the shed with my chainsaw...I mean working on the smoker;)

Afternoon in the garage today,got the swingarm out ready to clean and fit new bearings.A few more seized bolts to drill out.....bugger...O.o

Cleaned the cushion lever just so I could inspect the bearings and spacers,bad news is they are well knackered :( they were stuck fast with dried grease and have even managed to wear themselves through the spacers due to lack of rotation 

More expense :| this thing will be on the road this year but my plan for May looks a bit too optimistic due to cash flow and time,but I reckon it will be done by the summer I hope :)
