| Not quite sure how this ignition pick-up could ever work |
Looks
dodgy on the outside!

My favorite ! It took 2 days of soaking in carb cleaner + a hot air gun to get the slide out! | The bike still had 'fuel' in it. When I say fuel it actually smelt like turpentine! | |

Preliminary Investigations over. Lets get stuck in !
|
|

I decided that before getting the cosmetics sorted I should get things functioning if possible! The bike was a non runner when I bought it so it made sense to try and make both the engine and electrics work. |
