Shes alive!!! :kuda:

Was waiting on some dyna coils before start up,as I didn't think the coils were producing spark.

Anyhow,hooked up the battery,fed it some fuel and turned her over.

Gura.. gura.. gura,feck... the battery wasn't turning it over as it should..might be a earthing problem. :?

Haha,I have a kick starter,within two kicks she came to life...at the moment I'm 1 happy camper. :D

I tried a mix of 70% acetone and 30% ATF ,"auto trans fluid" it helped...but wasn't as good as I was led to believe. :(

Ended using a, in a can carb cleaner and a toof brush. :kuda:
