Looking forward to seeing the progress of this one, not a bad buy at £50…

I will look forward to some more photos, but for that money it looks alright. Well done.

I thought you sent an email with a number password to get me into the new site.

I must be my age and the fact that my missus is in OZ and I am multi-tasking.

thanks that a good start to the restoration.

[vhgmcbuddy]

Thanks chaps. As the KLG M80 has a reach of 1/2″, my NGK AB-8 should be fine. The plug is brand new, so the Wico A magneto is probably in need of attention. My engine is definitely the Type 1. Would be interested to know what you industrial manual states about the timing Geoff, as I have set the engine up based on the info in the motorcycle manual, which may not be strictly correct.

the man has just sent me down another leg from wales seems he imported some spares from the usa when he brought these in if you look close you will see the hub had been half snapped for years i think this has had a hard life in its past (smilely face) oh buy the way we could do with a spell checker on this site

Could not see a delete /detach function charlie, but not a problem…

[vhgmcbuddy]

thank you both. this was a find in a lot of brambles and the growth was very very thick so the amount of leaves covering it was virtually water tight.the flooding carb saga was revealed when I figured out the means of dismanteling.where the float needle passes through the float at the bottom,years of wear had made the entry point slack therefore letting in petrol to the float and in turn making it heavy,and so after a certain time it began to sink and then flooding occured. so my remedy was to take the needle out ,put a good dollop of araldite around the float and then inserted the needle and left the carb upside down for a day or so until hardening is completed.

Charlie, I am signed in using the password you sent, but I have lost the email with this on it. I signed into my profile to change my password to my old one in case I ever get signed out.
It asks me to enter my current password to allow me to change it. I clicked that I forgot my password and it automatically signed me in using my new password but the password shown is hidden so I still don’t know it.

Sorry if this sounds confusing.
Phil
