Will it won't it start

[PW Cymru]

Well going to press the on button tonight and see if it starts, it's only been a year

Time flies, but haven't had as much spare time as I thought when I bought it.

Fit the rocker covers back on and the tank overflow tube then give the button a push oh and a bit of petrol should help too.

I'll keep you posted.

 

[Rob Farmer]

Can we have the Cardiff fire brigade on standby please

 

[(RIP) Proff]

Good luck Paul
The R90s fired up sweet as a nut. so yours ought to do the same.
watch out for Carbs overflowing as it's a common problem after rebuild, "sticky" or miss set needle valve.....

 

[PW Cymru]

I'll be taking it outside just in case

He shoots he scores.

All sounds good, starter motor worked well after rebuild (no bushes in the bendix) and turned over nicely, battery is still strong after a year on charge.

Left hand carb had a slight drip but stopped after I took it for a run.

Gearbox is sweet, thanks Rob, I still owe you lots of beer.

Tick over is a bit lumpy and needs to be sorted.

Rear brake bled and now works well enough to lock the back wheel.

All electrics seem to working well (lost the rear lights on the M6 when bring the bike home in the dark-scary).

I think I'm going to enjoy my Sunday runs on this one.


Now for the MOT

Hydraulic rear brake?

 

[PW Cymru]

I don't do video, I haven't even got sound on my pc.

It just stopped one day.

 

[PW Cymru]

Hydraulic rear brake?

Yep sure is.

I's not what I would call progressive mind you, but it works.

 

[John Armstrong]

Yep sure is

Wow! And nobody has tried to relieve you of it?

Glad to hear it's running, maybe once you've done a few miles the cobwebs will be blown away and it wont be as lumpy.

OOOOO sarky bugger.
Not all airheads are genii,, like what I am




PS. Nice one Paul, but do keep an eye on the left carb
Now you see why we always turn the fecking taps off when we stop

 

[brassmonkey001]

OOOOO sarky bugger.

Not at all. Genuine request. Lets see some pics at least.

 

[PW Cymru]

Best I can do for now.

 

[(RIP) Proff]

Typed in a real Welsh accent

 

[brassmonkey001]

There's lovely, isn'it?

 

[Kenny]

Looking good ( at last )...where's the rest of it ???

 

[PW Cymru]

It's all there just thought I'd leave the lowers off while I continue to fettle it through the winter.

Still plenty of little jobs to sort out.

 

[Rob Farmer]

That looks great Paul

 

[John Roberts]

Yeah, right.

Just don't park it next to mine, OK?
