thanks for the tip jeffery . sounds like it dont have any sort of muffler left at all ! but it was great to hear it running though . siezed hight adjuster too eek just for something different lol , i didnt know these were all alloy except the tank . can you make out the fuel tap ? i dont think its correct , fouls the throttle cable . or were they soooooooo close it could happen ? cheers , Dave
