Great news mate looking forward to seeing what it makes on the Dyno

Good result Blacky.. after all the cussin and cursing its probably best you didnt burn it to the ground, as was going to be the next course of action eh...

Well yesterday has come and gone and I did nothing to the rattler a mate had an electrical problem at his house so I spent the morning sorting that out and a steady stream of visitors in the afternoon meant the shed preparations for today’s spanner day still haven’t been sorted

Got the wiring all soldered back together tonight , hopefully a test flight tomorrow after work - need to mount the computer and put the wiring back where it should be and I should probably put the doors on .........

No Need to put the doors on blacky,

That power will blow em off anyway Ha Ha Ha !!!!!

Just got back - a fairly successful trip , I guess the fact it got back under its own steam is a win if nothing else
Not running the best, can’t really give it much stick without it backfiring- it actually blew the air intake off
Indicators don’t self cancel, it jumps out of 3rd when you back off which isn’t ideal seeing as it’s a reconditioned gearbox.

Good points - it drives nice , it didn’t get hot , nothing fell off and it got me home. You can feel it wants to go it just needs the tune sorted out.

Jobs -
Bigger fan
Fix indicators
Maybe a resonator- it’s LOUD

And then - it got its first wash since I have owned it !!!!!

Damn it was like washing a giant sheet of sandpaper




Matches my mower


Back in the shed - not decided if I’m going to work on it or have a bourbon ….

That all sounds like a good result It can only get better from here…..

Yeah can't grizzle Stephen, it could have been a hell of a lot worse ......


Bourbon won- went to my neighbours place
