ITS ALIVE
Ok so the new machine as i have started calling it, is Alive, The new carby arrived today, and i fitted it up, after finding metric screws to attach it with, as the old ones were imp. roughly set the mixture screws etc, made a new fuel bowl gasket to fix that leak, and Lo and Behold it starts and runs, albeit only with the choke on, but it runs, roughly but it runs, oh and its smoking from the centrifugal clutch, oh the shut of switch doesn't shut it off, luckily the choke does LOL
quick check and then i remember that the large drive pulleys were seized and didnt turn, few squirts of magic juice onto the bearings couple of taps with a rubber mallet and hey presto they turn, fire it back up again and all is good, except an almost drive off on it own bias towards the pedal being in the forward position, Pull off the other half of the transmission cover and discover 2 spring of horribly different proportions , out with the spring box, dig around and nothing suitable, so bend up a couple of compression springs to suit. fire it up again and success, a reasonably central neutral position a centrifugal clutch that works drive pulleys that work, a motor that runs, if i had a seat on it i could almost do a lap... have a bit of a fiddle with the mixture screw only to make it temperamental to start and the pull starter is only engaging every 28 pulls, so with my back screaming at me in pain, i decide that the day was a success and i need a coffee, i will grab a few pics a bit later on when the endone has kicked in
