It would be interesting to hear some of the excuses for inactivity!

I do not need to go walking or to the Gym I get my exercise looking for the safe places I have put some special parts.
For some reason I also look multiple times in the same places where - course they still are not there!

I lost one of my new rear drive hub rubber bushes that I knew I had placed in the freezer - I emptied the chest freezer three times before I gave up and bought another.

Two months later whilst getting some new freezer cartons out of a box in the garage I found my missing Bush!

PM me if you need one bush for a 400/4. lol

Nurse Julie:
Phil, after all this paranoia, have you got around to starting the bike?

Sesman:
Oh, yes. Fired up on the button first time - amazingly. Not sure the neighbours will get on with the delkevic🤔

Amazingly it ticked over just fine, if a little high at first. The carbs will need balancing.

Hardest bit was spinning the motor with plugs out until the oil light went out and a slight petrol leak from one float bowl, cured by a swift tap with a screwdriver.

Just waiting for greenspark to supply my long awaited plug caps and I’ll fire up the 500.

Sesman:
Incidentally I haven’t forgotten about those dowel locators.

I found the missing one and it cleaned up ok, but I’ll need replacements as they are a bit knarley.

I need to remove the alternator and clutch cover again as I’m not overly happy with the finish.
