Thanks mate. Yes, i bought it from an old bloke in Pontypridd in South Wales. I'm only the 3rd owner which i was well surprised by. It was/is a runner, i've had it going on the 6volt system so i know it's a runner and too late now as i've bought a 12v system.
What i found was a cracked rear wheel where 8 spokes had cracked the holes inside and out, the tank had that much flaky sealant i decided it was past it, wiring loom wasn't even right and looked like a nightmare, rear brake pivot shaft chewed up on the splines, frame needed blasting and painting, engine had more leaks than the Torrey Canyon though that was understandable, about an eighth of an inch of carbon build up on the valves which made me wonder how it ran, not even looked inside the carb yet, new bearings all round again understandable, forks were just about alright though there were some gouge marks where Ham-fisted Harry had been at it, probably forgot things but i just want a nice bike without relying on the Prince of Darkness.
