Re: John's valvo *Back on the streets!*
Aye carbs are easy when you know what all the little screws do.
Latest problem is the throttle return spring (homemade) isn't string enough, so the throttle ends up slightly open. Fixing that tomorrow though.
I went for a drive earlier, it's so fast. 1st and 2nd are so short that you can beat almost anything off the lights.
But there's a problem.
When I shut my eyes I see cams.

I've just been to Carlisle and back on £25 of pez. And I really wasn't taking it easy. The car is unexpectedly frugal.

we thought mine had a problem when i took it for MOT, they complained it was out of petrol in the morning i had droped it off.
we'd stuck £16 of fuel in the tank and done 6 miles to the garage.. £2.66 a mile at speads yeh right!

Re: John's valvo *Back on the streets!*
Oh noes! Radiator problems! Good job I have a brand new one then:
No pictures of it fitted because my battery died. You'll just have to imagine what it looks like. Oh and the rad was like £15 off ebay.

John, you keep teazing us with all these sneak peaks Bring on the pic dump
Looks good tho, i was so shocked at how easy it was to replace my rad, only took like 30 mins + 20 mins googling over some nasty looking rust
