Hi Jason

Welcome aboard, sounds like you bought yourself a bargain.  It's good to see the boys rallying around and offering to help, so you know you're amongst friends, happy days ahead.

Cheers

She fired up at the push of a button and sounded ok at idle.
Started leaking fuel out of 1 carb when bike was off. Fuel taps also not working properly.

Seems like no massive dramas with bike.  I reckon she will  be on the road soon..... I hope.


Big thanks to Cristian for popping in for a chat.

Cheers to all for the welcome messages.
