    My three grandsons put this together during the easter holidays... I added the words to the video a couple of days ago.

    No worries @Adie P , it is common mistake that people make. Best laugh I had was one day he was playing rugby and one of the mums from the opposition team said how good it was to see a young girl being so aggressive playing ruby. She was mortified when I informed her it was a boy. He wears his hair long and won’t get it cut short; good on him.....

    Got the carb jets, main and primary up graded from 105 to 115 main, and primary 115 to 117.5.

    IMG_20200417_183514378.jpg

    I also raised the needle up one.

    IMG_20200419_112433608.jpg

    and got em back in the bike ,

    IMG_20200419_115554955.jpg

    although I cant fit the air box yet, cos the new negative earth lead bolts to the engine under the box and it hasn't arrived yet.I had a hairy moment when it looked like the needle holding screws wouldn't move.
    I sometimes think, 'why do I have so many tools,' and then you go through 10 screw-drivers and eventually find one that fits perfect, and it undoes, what nothing before could,( fyi non JIS), and it comes to you, 'that's why I have so many tools'

    Do you think I should replace this Dyna battery here's the results ive got since 17/4/20, comparing with a spare Ive got that doesnt fit the GS box?

    Nice going Sprinter, I always preferred those carbs to CV's with a rubber condom on top, that's a gradual decline in the battery but the only true test is under load a drop tester is the best way to find out if a battery is beyond help.

    Yeah, and Ive never ridden it any distance, its topped up on the tender. TBH Im really surprised its in this good a shape. Ive always started the bike regularly, up until last autumn when I emptied the tank
    I suppose, I'll test it when I get the bike up and running and keep one eye on it.

    Today, I connected the in-line fuel filter,

    IMG_20200423_131224023.jpg


    got the air-box back on, fitted the chain and chain-guard (second hand).

    IMG_20200423_131207288.jpg

    Attached the engine bars.
