Description
* open to offers, swaps PX etc*
First things first, as the title says this is a project, it's about 95% complete (in parts) meaning everything is there, apart from a handful of fasteners. It's a very honest, original, matching numbers bike, fully registered with V5, Ideal candidate for a restoration
So I was given this as it had sat outside for a number of years, I made a start bringing it back to life and have just lost motivation for it so I'd like to see it go to someone who will get it running and ride it.
So far I've stripped the top ends apart, it's had a top end refurb, decoked the pistons, refurbished the heads, honed the cylinders and reassembled. The motor has good compression and spins freely. The big end didn't appear to have any play, considering the odometer reading, it seems this is all original. Stock pistons in stock bores.
I'm midway through rebuilding the carbs, it needs some new jets as the current ones are way past their best, this was where I stopped. I rebuilt the carbs once, and attempted to start it but the carbs were flooding and it wouldn't fire off.
The mag has a decent spark, engine has good compression so it's really just the carbs need sorting to get some life into it. I've serviced the engine, gearbox and final drive so the rest of the bike needs some work.
It's mainly cosmetic, but I'd suggest the brakes need inspection and the wheels potentially need rebuilding as they're a bit corroded. I have a walk around video I can send over if needed but if you have any questions please feel free to reach out.
For obvious reasons this needs collecting in a van, I can help arrange a courier though.
Cheers
