Sorry link seems to be not working.

Do you have an item number?

OK. Looks good and doesn’t start well. That’ll be the carbs then :roll:

Good luck with the auction.

That looks great, I wish I had one. Oh wait, I do. Complete with starting issues :lol:

May I ask what front end it is and how complicated the swap was?

Shame you are so far South! I'm in Lancashire, so collection would be a problem.

Thanks Kryten. Yes Carbs I believe, they were rebuilt before I bought it, and it started easily for a couple of years. It's been gradually getting harder to start, until the point that it won't now.

I've fiddled around with it a bit, but I'm travelling a lot this year and run out of knowledge, time, patience etc.

Smallkat, the forks wheels and brakes are from a Honda VTR firestorm. I didn't do the swap myself, it was the previous owner.
