Hi there, so after introducing myself I think it might be time to start a post in here to keep You all up to date on the progress ( if any ) on the restoration of my little " Hania "
I bought the bike back in July '15 from a Polish lad here in NI that wanted to send it to Poland and get it rebuild but the decided not to.
She was starting when I got it ( with a push ) but didn't work in idle. I had the top of the engine removed, checked the bores, pistons, rings and so on. Got it back together with new seals, new valve stem seals, o rings... Put in new spark plugs, new wires and caps. I had the carbs out and cleaned them, got them back in but with no new parts there. New battery and she starts and runs, still not what You would expect but. As the carb boots are old and cracked I think she might be catching some air on the side there, so have to get them ordered and replace as well.
Basically the plan is to get her rebuild to standard spec, but the work will be progressing slowly as there are time and funds limitations
I'm a hands on man, love bikes and into mechanics so as far as possible I get it all done myself with the exception of the obvious ie. powder coating and chromes.
All help and advice always welcome, also if You have any questions - shoot
