Shot, like i'd be so kind. Try bludgeoned to death with a rusty spoon and tin of WD40!

Cheers Tom, i'm trying to get the body work sorted now and spruce it up. Hopefully ready for wagtail.

Drove it any sort of distance this morning and it seems to be running a lot better. Ticks over a lot smoother now i've put fresh liquid gasket in the carb/manifold joint.

I'm not convinced i have the carb set up right anymore though. I adjusted both mixture screws and think i need to have a play with them again.

Bonnet looks pretty tidy now its dried, gave it 4 coats in total, the black took some covering.

Bring on the weekend again!

Bit of a pointless post but i'm just excited for the new cherry bomb exhaust on saterday. Also taking the 410 front end for a quote to get it chemical dipped.

Why get it dipped when all the usual places that rust are going to get cut out?
