At last the red Griffon is nearing completion. Should be MOT'd this week. I can't wait. This has taken a lot longer than expected. Ebay advert said good runner, just needed carb cleaning and refitting. Ha!
Carb was in bits, lots of bits it didn't need but not the bits it did need. The inlet manifold was knackered and has been leaking for years. The rad poured out water. The valves were rusted solid. The dissy was in a box. The plug leads, coil etc were unusable. Fuel looked like petrol, smelt like petrol, tasted like petrol but wasn't petrol! Two punctures, front bumper rotten, flasher wiring knackered, brakes seized. The perils of ebay.......
