Sean it could be a complete money pit. A cheap asking price could cost you thousands to sort out. They don't fetch huge money as well sorted bikes.

The 100/7 could have either the heavy flywheel engine or the later light flywheel engine. Big differences between the two bikes so if you can find out the year we can shed a bit more light on it.

I have a 1975 100/7 in bits 98% there so if the other bike is the same age could make 2 bike in to one good runner

As long as the one you're looking at is pre 80 then the parts are interchangeable anything later and there are significant differences.

HI all,
Went to see the guy today. The bike is 1979. Was a tradin, so set price of £350. Just some rust on some bits. I think it may need new front disc - I have one, new rear springs, new set of keys - all locks drilled and tires. I have another engine in case this one does not work, but i hope it does. I have lots of bits in my shed.

Sean,

The positive battery lead goes to the starter solenoid where a second cable feeds the electrics.

Have you had the cover off the starter to see if everything is connected ?

It sounds as though you need to trace all connections methodically, cleaning contacts and checking continuity as you go.

Do you have a Haynes Manual for this model ?

Bob.

Also check that the earth lead is making contact, If it is corroded as you say, this could be a problem
