    @declan naa it not staying original well I don't no time will tell I suppose and ye I think it is the gasket tho seems a bit too smokey as for rebuild etc as much as I should do it I need it on the road asap for a few weeks then I can start tidying it up so unfortunately I don't have a choice little things are going to be first

        @declan that will be a long time very long time if ever, to be honest, it probably always be a tinker toy if you know what I mean but then again as already stated time will tell I do have some ideas but ill keep them close for now things can change

                  @terry-tz So I may have to adjust my Build thread title 😂

                  Keep us updated as you go, mine was always a weekend work in progress when I had the time. I used it pretty much everyday during the week.

                  Keep it real

                      bike was cutting out at every stop and idle screw wouldn't budge and was rounded a bit so I took it off for a clean and to loosen the idle found they have a security bolt 😠 so it only had a quick clean got the idle moving tho took some shifting like but carb wants doing again it's looking sorry for its self need to get a rebuild kit for it really seals were almost none existant

                                          I no longer think it's the plug seems to be a restriction but sometimes I get 80 and others 70 or anywhere in between il get to the bottom of it
