 |
|
I got this off a person from word of mouth for £300. I believe it was kept on a farm for years and years. It's all pretty orginal apart from the exhaust.
The bottom (bowl+float) of the massive 38mm flatside was missing so i replaced it with a spare rm250 carb kicking around which has the same diameters, just. I cleaned up the all the random crap between the fins and got the spark plug out and replaced it. Put a tiny bit of brake cleaner in it and kicked it over... It fired up and boy is it loud.
Loads of work to do. Everything is rusty and seized up. I had to cover the chain in wd40 and hit it with a hammer so the wheel could turn. I've no information this bike, can't find any manuals online or parts.

I can't wait to ride it but along way off before I can. Was trying to restore the exhaust last night. It has so many dents! I was drilling holes behind the dents then bashing them out and welding the holes up.
Will get some more pictures up later.

Just me trying out the exhaust with proper rubber sleeves. Before it wouldn't tick over as it had a crack in one rubber sleeve and the other completey missing.
