OK,heres the last pictures you'll see before its completely back together.
Everything is hooked up and working "just waiting on the coils for fire up".
Brakes are all fitted and bled...all electrics are operational.
Now I'm off to get my spray painter motivated.
Cheers...Dave

Shes alive!!!
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.

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.
