Just for you Roo
She’s a bit smoky at the mo but that’s cos I sloshed a bit of 2t oil round the tank before storing it over winter

But I think Greta.Thumberg would fully approve
Just need to sort out the CB400F it ran faultlessly last year did the same storage procedure but it’s a no starter and floods so carbs out for a check as I suspect the remains of fuel has dried and left a coating inside the carbs causing slightly sticky floats and valves
Won’t be storing it again like that and will instead run it every couple of weeks over winter to keep it in tip top running order
But an easy job for the weekend

"All done at the post office and did not have to buy a years road tax either only for it it be fully refunded"
It always makes me smile when I tax my historic car or bike when they ask if I would like 6 or 12 months FREE road tax.
Mmmmmmmmmmm , now let me see, perhaps I'll go with the 12 months to be safe. ::)

Oh, yer filthy beast, that sounds simply fantastic Al. ;D ;D ;D
I'm hoping to take a trip up and see it for real come the summer, sadly I only have a few crap photos of my old one just before it went but that littke film made me grin from ear to ear.
Possibly not a 'Kleenex' moment but not far off ;D
Nice little carb fettle for you this weekend then, that'll keep you in the shed with some tunes on and a brew.........Fantastic.
Just have to cut the grass and Im out there meself. We're on cleaning duty of old shagged parts to access the cost this arvo.......eeessh! :-\

Hi Roo
Glad you like it
Yes a carbs out and had plenty of practice and all now out and on the bench in 20 mins
Almost if Honda designed it this way for an annual carb clean
But the rebuild will be in the week as weekend now taken up with two fur daughters one two years old and the other is 14 weeks
Yes will be good to meet you in person
Catch up soon and enjoy the grass cutting
Best wishes Al
