Hi every one
Though I would start a new post the original was getting a bit big to download.
I haven't been able to work on the Mk1 over the past couple of months been a bit sick. The frame was repaired in May but has sat around gathering dust. So last week got all enthusiastic and re assembled the bike and this time the engine fitted just fine. completed putting cylinders heads etc on today and fired her up. I can't say it fired first kick, flooded her but 4 or 5 kicks a big puff of black smock and away she went Idling at about 1100 Rpm I guess. Smooth as anything seems to have good throttle responce and no unusual noises so very happy.
I have a problem with the right carby in so far as the fuel union is cracked and leaks petrol fixed it temporally today with yards of PTFE tape. If anybody has a good seat and carby top I would be very interested.
Still lots of work to do but I feel I am over the hump so as to speak.
A couple of questions somebody maybe able to help with
What length is the speedo cable on a Mk 1?
Did the Mk1 have transfers on the tool box?
A couple of pics she looks a bit untidy but that will be fixed very soon.
Cheers
David H
