Great to hear the bike running, Matt!.. Well done you!

I had to do a double take when I switched on the video clip. I thought I'd come across the first ever 3½ Sport with a right foot kick starter..

Should have gone to Specsavers..

Thanks everyone

Its been quite a journey to get to here, i ended up destroying a carb trying to retrieve a snapped screw out of it.

It ended up being a blessing in disguise as it was a VHBZ25HS which didnt match with the VHB25BS which I'm guessing is why my dad always had issues with it running/not running and braking down all the time. I obviously didnt know this, i had it as it came to me and just assumed thats how they were.

So it now has a matched set of VHB25BS, one of which i found on Ebay had to strip and clean as it was in a very sorry state (it had a bug in one of the jets) refit all that.

I didnt realise that the kickstand was fouling the footpeg and when i kicked it i snapped it clean off so ive anyone has a Tarozzi lever arm lying round ill take it off your hands.

So happy to have it running besides my previous attempt 2 years ago, i dont recall it being run or ridden in the last 10+ years.
