No Julie, it’s under house so internal stairs! Well she’s a runner Julie you were right, it’s a Honda ofcourse it’s going to run. Managed to video if link works.

Don't tell me that's the bike in the first post pics?

Wayhay, well done Johnny, the engine sounds OK and that a lovely noise from that megaphone. Fantastic.

[Spitfire]

What a lovely noise that makes, makes me want to refit my Dunstall.

Cheers

Same bike Ted!

[Laverda Dave]

That sounds great Johnny, the video makes it look and sound like a pit garage prior to the start of a 24hr endurance race👍

[Rozabikes Tim]

What prep to get it running? Usual carb clean and points set up?

[Laverdaroo]

Well done Johnny, that sounds ace!

What were you tinkering with near the offside side panel, at first I thought it was the fuel feed but that looks to be hanging off the rafter.

Ken there’s a choke lever with a sticky cable fixed to side of frame! The wiring is home grown so leaves a lot to be desired. No kill switch, so thought I would disconnect the wire I connected to get power from battery to coils but the bike just kept running so must be being fed from alternator as well. Tim I just pulled the carbs removed all jets cleaned and put them back on. Just cleaned points had to reconnect one plug lead that had detached from plug cap.

Yes it will run from alternator after starting as long as revs are high enough to provide the excitation power

Blimey Johnny, the engine whisperer. It's handy it's running as now it will be easy to get up the plank to the skip.

Good work, sounds quite good condition from it's running noises too. No real smoking, just condensate , and with balance, compression etc sounding absolutely normal.
