Hey Tim,

Great to hear that your trusty steed is back at home.

I would start by cleaning all the connections/connector blades.

Try drying out the connections with a hair dryer???????

Hi all     well the bike arrived Wednesday  pm   so far so good   unpacked every thing the smell of damp gear was   overpowering  had a quick look over the bike battery out and charged  ,  reloaded battery   primed the carbs   hit the button wound out  and coughed in to life. on 2 cyclinders had a fiddle around  for a while and cant get the right side to liven up   so Eddy the conection to the handle bar switch is good     going to have a go at it on the week end
will up load to photo bucket  at some stage    so any ideas on where to start looking for gremlin / s    would be helpful      mods can move this post to appropriate  think that's how its spelt   area   
Tim     
ps there will be no getting the Bretts award back   lol   :)   its was a great rally no matter what happened

I will definitely be back, had a blast.  I want to bring a mate next time, he has a RH sidecar.  The only reason he didn't come this year is because he was in the States.  He has to go back next year, his son has an athletic scholarship at a college over there, but his dates are flexible.  I would like to have some confirmation on next years Rally dates so he can book his US trip around them.  That way we can ride from Hobart :)
