It's a non-runner at present. It's all there so far as I'm aware but has a couple of broken studs ...I'm not sure if there are other issues as I haven't had it running. Head is currently off plus there is a spare head and possibly barrels. It's been sitting part dismantled in the garage for ages. I can take a few piccies if you like.

Nice one John, good for another 80000 🤭 I’ll be trying the coin on the tank now as well! Although I know there is play with the clutch basket rubbers.
