Been too busy to post, but after a long long time, at last the K3 is alive again and breathin' fire! ;D

- new guides/valves/re-cut seats/honed bores/new rings/camshaft/chain/blasted 'n painted casings

- buttoned down the head this w/end; set valves & points
- fired her up, Bingo she runs! On the button, first time (well 2nd actually)
- probably could do with re-balancing the carbs

then we're ready to rock n roll....
Ah! they say its gonna snow, Doh.
I don't want to pick up any of that nasty road salt, guess I'll have to wait. :(

But its a good feeling to 'bring her back to life after all these months.
