Don't you just love fitting carbs. I favour the hot air gun on the airbox rubbers to soften them up, pull the choke in, jobs a good un.

Would you say this one has been the most enjoyable Super Dream project so far Steve? If I am honest, no. The most enjoyable one was for Jenny as it was an honest-to-goodness wreck. No attempt to pretend to be anything different. Transforming that (and her) back to 1978 was a privilege. This one, even though within my ability level, made me feel a bit done. It is one of my pet peeves to be lied to. I am able to do this stuff, but the bloke didn't give a shite and could have sold it to someone who couldn't fix it. They are all learning platforms though, and I enjoy sharing the process with you lot. It will be nice to have a ride for a few miles, as I have not tried a 400. I have a 250 to put together, then 5 sets of Tanks and panels to repair/paint next. I will post up a few more bits on the painting, but I am interested to see a few new members doing some painting too.

It's been a chilly job. October, November, December doesn't half slow you down. Good news this evening, electrical gremlin found and engine spins over with a spark on each side. Better fit an exhaust before seeing if it has life...

The answer is yes, but not on the left yet. Right copper exhaust gasket blowing as I have not gone tight yet in case it had to come off. But it runs and is not banging or rattling, so I will take that and knock off for the evening. I do have spark, so it must be a lazy carb....?
