Hello all
The valve is there it’s just full of fuel and it was the only one my friend has just been round and said he was only joking when he said I will give you 100 quid for the bike then he slapped me good looking and told me to stop spitting my dummy out and be patient it’s all about trail and error.
No I’ve not been able to get hold of a compression tester yet. I will have to get one??
Can I get a card repair kit or do I just buy the individual parts that I need?

hello all :smt006
i've taken the carbs apart again and looked at the o-ring on the choke and i can see any wear and tear but i don't know what i'm looking for really i don't know where the little o-ring goes.
Things are starting to look up just got a new job (labourer) start tomorrow so pay some debts off then i will have the money to get the bike back on the road i hope and take my test??

yeah she is a bit high maintenance.
And that is a very good point it ran fine till i put it in the house and if i had a garage the bike would be in it feeling very sorry for itself
