Well.
I thought i had found a new project, a very ratty and in need of TLC Moto Guzzi V65. It was local to me, although pricey, was worth a look. So off i trotted, a 30 minute drive later i was viewing the bike. It was OK, which for a project is a good state of affairs. Anyhow, i try not to buy with my heart, so I thanked the seller and left. A few days later i asked if the bike was available, he said he had a buyer coming to look at it. I asked if he would message me if it fell through.
As you can see, quite the nice project.
A day later the sale fell through, i asked his best price, he told me, i had a barter, and during the online bartering he sold it out from me. Thats life, in the words of Del Boy 'he who dares.....'. So i lost that bike.
So i went to the garage, fettled my FZR and tried to start it. Petroleum flooded from the carbs. BOLLOX, that'll be a full strip then, and a clean.
Some grazed knuckles and turning the air blue, presto -
The carbs are off, now to strip them, clean them, not lose any parts and then reassemble.
Will keep you posted.
