This was the finished product, run on the rollers, then (a new step I’ve added)  pulled apart and checked idle circuits just to be sure to be sure👍👍

 Sorry Jonesy, I was gonna look for that as well as bearing kit🤦‍♂️

Just boiling the fuel residue and what ever else is in there, needed a baseline to work off for “other “ countries 🤔🤭🤷‍♂️

Yeah Jonesy unfortunately she does spend a fair bit of time laid up in the granny flat since moving here in 2014, due to me now doing shift work. I’m Working at Australia Post on a rotating roster that changes weekly so it’s very hard to have all the planets line up and organize a ride, but she does come out religiously for the annual Toy Run (except for this year as Steptoe will still be sorting out the carbies + COVID restrictions) and the occasional run up into the Adelaide hills. Since the restoration in 2012 she has only done 40,000k’s and still looks quite fresh.
Cheers: Phil

Starting to work on Phill’s carbs from Adelaide
Certainly some work to do, not that it’s out of the ordinary but the floats are pretty bad





The small dint has a solder crack and the corrosion line is able to be felt with my finger it’s that deep
