    Bought a T140E last year as a non-runner and it still remains that way as I am still rebuilding it...

    [​IMG]

    The engine is going through a full rebuild as the previous owner had the frame powder coated but didn't clean the blast media out... yeah clever eh?! (Muppet!).

    It has a 1 3/4" SU carb conversion (done by ???) and there isn't a lot of information (read none) out there on the carb set-up.

    Hopefully it will be on the road next month...

    Hello and welcome :), shame about the medium issue. A good idea would be to replace the frame gauze with the aftermarket paper filter kit after you have cleaned out the frame and sorted engine, how much medium made it to the sludge trap ??

    Sorry to hear the blast medium problem it's easy to do and a right arse to get it all out :mad: but make sure you do then a bit of money time and effort she'll be fine and you've done it yourself so you'll know it's right
