It doesn't look too bad...
Although I'm guessing it's an import with the speedo being in KPH?

havent had much chance to work on it over the past couple of days but went round yesterday having cleaned the carbs out, boiled the mainjets in vinegar in the kitchen which my mum wasnt too happy about  took the ignition coils out and the spark plugs out and earthed them and turned the engine over to see if there was a spark, we didnt get chance to check cos the instant we pressed the starter buton a load of petrol shot out of the top of the engine! i think it was my fault though :S i took one of the vacuum covers off the top to have a look in and i didnt put it back on properly, so that carb was sucking pure petrol straight into the engine :S oopsie i have a video of what happened but il put it on when i get home i cant do it at college i will have time to go round tonight to hopefully get it running as the carbs are back on and i think working properly, the plugs have a spark but its not a very strong one, all of the gaps are different so they will need replacing. |

awaiting spark plugs in the post kev should be here about tuesdayish
we are confident it will start the carbs are fine and appear to be working properly, and the ignition leads are all working, the spark plugs were nackered though, we checked some ones that we knew were fine and they sparked properly so we know its that and not the ignition coils.
