It means more work for him taking them out unless its something more obvious or maybe I didn't do something right. The very fact its running is great and tbh I was looking at new carbs on ebay for months but at a last resort. I expect by tomorrow dinner time it will be known what's what.
Things I had to leave Al to do was spongy front brake, throttle grip not returning fluidly, new plugs and fill with oil.
The details I need after are repainting the brake reservoir cover again as fluid has attacked the edge once more.
A touch up model brush will sort a few cam cover chips from installing things around them.
Big Oz will once I know bikes a goodun prior to the weekender weld the Ohlins remote can neatly so I can remove the bolts holding it together. Much more neater and professional imho but I had to make it hoping it would be in the right place which it was.

Once the salt has gone it will come out to play for sure. Sure its a show bike now but its just like having a new bike to ride. I'm lucky enough to have a Scrambler to play on too but I sold my 1100s for a break but never would be without a monster.

Anymore news I will be sure to post up and hoping a video too. Sadly this is the end of this project but new ones will arrive soon.

I'm seeing this with a backing track of '(I can't help) falling in love with you' by UB40 in my head.
