I spotted this on Facebook last week, a guy was selling it without a price, it was local so I decided to go and have a look. He said that he had paid £450 for it 18 months ago and had done nothing with it. House was up for sale and he said he was moving abroad. He just wanted his money back. Obviously it was a non runner so buyer beware. I viewed and wasn’t impressed, the guy was a biker and we had a friendly biker chat but I advised that it needed too much money throwing at it to restore it so thanks but no thanks.  TO BE CONTINUED In the meantime what’s your thoughts and or valuation? |

If CTB said no to 450, I get the impression that he would offer a lower figure, not higher 😉🤣 |

tricky to value, if the calipers are there then £350, if not then £225, looks like a lot of work for someone

Centre stand rotten but came with a good replacement. problem is the pin is corroded to the stand so it had to be cut off. Busters valuation is very close and you would think it’s a bargain. However start adding up all the parts rechrome paintwork and your well in to thousands so not such a bargain 😱 |

Good news once a new fuse board and wiring was fitted all the lights work and we have a spark 😃, so fresh fuel and let’s see.

Like the rear indicators
Assume you cleaned the carbs - put a spare working set on

Would that indicate a blockage potentially in the carb idle circuit or pilots?
No expert but at a certain rev they switch to the pilot (tickover) jets or should so that may indicate the issue. Ultrasonic bath time?

as you've got a couple (ahem) of superdreams, I'm guessing you've tried a known set of good carbs?
assuming thats the case (and you say it nothing obvious) then I'm struggling a bit, hmmmm
weak spark below 3000 and enough oomph to jump the plug gap above 3000?
