First attempt to fire her up




  1.  Find a high hear (4th or higher) and turn the back wheel.…get the engine to turn. 
    • A little 'scratchy' after an initial reluctance to turn but the pistons are moving. 👍
  2. Find neutral and try the starter. ✅
    • Using a spare car battery for now whilst we wait or the new one to arrive. 
    • No issues with the starter or electrics!
  3. A drop of petrol in each cylinder before putting the plugs back
  4. Air box off….a squirt of carb cleaner in each carb….
Well we expected smoke (from the first and 2 stroke oil) but blimey, Keith Richards would have been proud!
