Bought this back in june (an 86) after searching for a project some time.
It had been standing for 5 years, last time it started it was going bad and only on one cylinder. It had no battery and looked miserable - so i said ill take it, over the phone without even seeing it.
First thing i wanted to do before i took it apart any more was to see if i could get it to start, so i cleaned the carburators in ultrasonic bath. Cleaned the gastank with some acid to take all the rust away, got some new gaskets for the fuel switch. After a while i got it started and running on both cylinders. Phew!
I did a little testrun to check the gearbox, clutch etc and man did that put a smile on my face 😎
