Well, The great day has finally arrived all the missing bits have arrived and are fitted and after a bit of a rough running start yesterday due to me not setting the the ignition timing correctly and blocked jets in the carburettor, with help from Arthur Farrow on the phone today I got it sorted and...

Now we’re getting to the scary bit. The parts from Start Gomma arrived today so now the rear footrests are fitted holding on the nice shiny new silencer along with the rubber bits ordered, fuel pipe fitted and now waiting to receive the throttle cable. Fingers firmly crossed when fitted it actually ...

Latest update: I now have a fully working electrical system, found out that the Bosch coil that came with the box of bits delivers a very healthy spark, have made up a front brake and a clutch cable and have a clutch that works. I have to wait for some new rear footrests and a few more rubber bits t...
