I got it running today
New battery, carb, ht cap & petrol was all it needed for the engine to run
a few kicks & put put put
I still need to finish off the wiring (head light bowl mainly)
and I need a chrome vented exhaust shield, but can not find one to fit this model yet.
I also need to repair/replace the side panel that covers the battery and fit the air filter

My stepson Dan loves it more than his Piaggio
I love the way it wheelies in 2nd
The Wife doesn't like the tracks in the lawn
For a 32 year old bike, it runs lovely and this has been it's first oil change
I want to register it but I have to take it to the DVLA for an inspection because we cannot find the import documents from 1977
So nearly back together but far from finished
With all the new shiny stuff on, all the little bits like nuts, bolts & washers look sub standard
I now need a bigger garage...
...for my next project
a TL powered kit car would be nice
