Harrydh3 Posted February 4, 2014 Author Share Posted February 4, 2014 Got some bits done today, I had the carb cover and carb off so I can blast the cover back to silver as it has been painted black and I need to chuck my carb in the ultrasonics tank.Pulled the vast majority of the old loom outAnd whipped the head off for blasting alsoIm unsure as to wether to run it without the airbox and a direct filter and swap the 97 main jet for a 100 and put colder plug in....Watch this space, also, im after a fairing from a tz350 if anyone happens to have one knocking about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harrydh3 Posted February 6, 2014 Author Share Posted February 6, 2014 Had a couple of set backs and the bike will need to be used to commute sooner than I thought, put it all back together again and low and behold, it doesn't bloody work, revs till 6 then dies.So i'm going to get a new condenser and points at the weekend, do the timing and hope for progress, so I can continue with the few more bits I need to do before I can start pissing my money away on cosmetics. Honestly will get some pictures up at some point. And cheers fella, its good to be back on two wheels again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
