well, she passed the mot!!
not being a mechanic i studied the clymer manual and managed a carb rebuild with new jets/gaskets, new fuel lines, new points and condenser, all oils and filters inc fork oil , oh and a new seat lock! :thumb2

apart from that , just a whole lot of cleaning, i am so pleased to have got her back on the road and have spent the last few days pottering around on her.

:eek:

I guess it was an air-conditioned, centrally-heated garage you found it in :thumb2.

That looks amazing, a really good find.

Now just go and enjoy it.

Bob.
