Nice one Arge, what did you change to convert it from being a b*stad when warm to a thing of beauty to start?

You don't need a parachute to skydive. You only need a parachute to skydive twice.

Arge here
It was the spark plug, even though the one that was init looked brand new,
it wasn't.

The starting technique is now
No choke, turn it over a couple of times, then one prod to take it over compression,
and it starts, it realy is that easy.

I did try to tax it on line, but my new insurance dosent show up on dvla yet, but the last time it was it sorned ran out in 1998, it was released from the milatary in 97,
so i dony think it has been on the road since it came out of the army.

PS
How come non of the smilies have hair :lol: :lol:

When you look down the plug hole it doesn't look like it was used when it was in the army Arge :)

It appears to close to a minter only the s+ity red paint lets it down and the silvery paint on bits of the frame, it looks as if it has been vandalized, but under the crap there is no rust on the frame at all, the rear exhaust section is spotless, the piston looks brand new,
i taxed it yesterday and i've done about 40miles on it and arnt those standard exhausts quiet.
