I have an add on Gumtree, Wanted Dead or Alive... Victas........Got a bite yesterday , had to pay $20, but that's ok for a boredom buster.
Looked ok and original, motor turned over, no spark.
Took the top off to ajust points, then good spark and compression, solid wheels.
I cleaned up the flywheel, coil area and a bit of aluminium. I like to see a biit of shine.....
Bodgied fuel tank, used electric start withy my drill...
Started in a second, ran so smooth, quiet. Let it run for a few minutes then reved it a bit, responded well.......
It's worth a paint job now.......
Dissambled.........
Now I just have to buy some black plastic and mollasses for the rust bath........
I'll decoke the rings , head etc.......
At least I still have a job.......
I think its a 1978 model.... by engine number..
I just posted all the pics to show newbies it's not that hard and it's extremly fun.
cheers
speedy
