Sounds weak Vic, get that filter on there

Hmmmm I'm not sure C but I'll consider it. I'll also consider adding a tank and perhaps even a saddle And a front light.

Then I'll pop by to say hello

And that was a true forth kick! With just a tube with 5cl petrol in

Noticed that the carb was p1551ing fuel though, from the lid where the filter sits and the hose enters. Needs a new gasket, will have to pop by Neil tomorrow and see what they might have...

That would be nice

Some problems too, first of all, there is a loose piece of metal inside my speedo:

Then, there is some oil spitting and dripping:

Let's see what can be made about that tomorrow...

Many small steps...

Having fixed the leaking head (hopefully) - see separate thread - I could continue with more important, aesthetic details...

Looking forward to seeing it all together and polished up now.

Getting there, getting there. Just some odd problems to sort such as the speedo, jetting and double checking timing with a better strobe than mine and then after the rubber is on it should be back on the street
