    Well the model making has come to a halt unfortunately, there’s some bits missing so I can’t put the brakes together. :mad: It’s coming on though. :cool:

    Onto the next job then - this lot turned up today and needs putting together to make a log cabin/shed for Mrs Freck.

    Spent most of yesterday jet washing the slabs and the house. Then repair all the cracks in the rendering, ready for a coat of paint once it's fully dried. One downside to all this lockdown, is it's impossible to get any grey masonry paint !!! Unless I want 25L or pay £££ :confused:

    Also finished building this with my daughter...

    I tried getting some fence paint from Screwfix. Not an essential item apparently so not currently available :mad:

    Great bikes, I had a Honda CB 750 K6 at that time always did like those GS Suzuki's and the GT 750 in Heron Suzuki colours.

    Its an ignition device, you remove the spark plug and fit this tube with an glass centred spark plug and an extension to fit the plug cap, when you start the engine you can look into the engine and see the colour off the flame so you can adjust the carb to give you a blue flame as apposed to a orange one [rich]

    I have a strobe light coming for the ignition timing, she ran fine before, so with the Colortune as a extra, and the right jets in and upgrade jets coming, it should be quite well covered.
    A wealth of knowledge on here also.
    I took the wheels off and should get the tyres on tomorrow. Cleaned up the cushdrive and set up the chain and sprockets ready for torquing.
