Yep! Cleaned out the carb and it started pretty easily - but was so down on power it couldn't even pull second gear. And was basically silent when idling - just no exhaust noise. Once I took the cylinder off, it was pretty clear why!

take it your panel flew off.......

Er, it certainly did - only a few weeks after it was painted, too. My fault, just didn't have the bracket sorted properly. :oops: Good as gold, now.

I know, a few friends were pushing for a rustoration but that was never really the intention. If it was in original paint, that would have been a different story.

Cheers,

Dan

Nice job... 8-)

Have you done the modifications to the carb to avoid fuel starvation issues?
