After a kicking a 350 with an arse about face kickstart over for half an hour, cleaning the plug, realising the choke lever is nothing but an ornament and the spark is a feeble pale yellow colour then another half hour work out it miraculously burst into life
It was probably just as well that I was too knackered to try and ride the thing by then!
Let's just hope an electronic ignition kit and some new jets help now

I told the Mrs I can't bend enough for gardening due to the dodgy rib - think she smelt a rat when she heard me constantly kicking that thing over though!

Maybe it'd make a better multi-gym, it'd only do your cardio and left leg any good though!

Re: What have i done!
You realise that your bike is the same age as this Datsun Bluebird .
Is Leominster in some sort of time warp ?
p.s does that mean i can have your half finished DT50 now ?
