Action plan.

Right. Need to stop messing about and get things in motion now, I need a plan!

My TC Bro's hardtail should be arriving soon, so that means I need to get my frame stripped down and ready for welding. But before I can do that, I want to get an MOT on the bike. and before I do THAT; I need to get the bike running and ready for MOT. So this is what needs to be done;

Get the bike running - think (hope) its some kak in the carbs stopping it running, it definitely feels like a fuelling issue - I will take the carbs off and thoroughly clean, balance, etc

Fix front brake light switch - OK, it was me, I broke the old one. I also tried to fix it with superglue and failed. £6 for a new one - ordered.

Fill holes in exhaust - apparently they check for leaks on an MOT!! and my pipes have a few holes, so either bodge with silicone/tape etc (preferred method), or ask someone nicely if its possible to weld up. I hate the stock exhausts, they are shit, old and rusty and a bastard to get on.

That's this weeks mission. I just need to CRACK ON!!

oh Bandit!

Went down to steve's on Friday who has been sorting out the carbs on the Bandit. I replaced the starter motor and battery so it started really well but was only firing on three cylinders. Number 4 is the guilty party. Checked the spark plug - good spark, it also stank of petrol, so fuel is getting through....did a compression test and that was low so next thing to do is get the engine out and have a look in the top end......

....or could swap the engine out for something bigger!!

Pressies!

Got a delivery today of a few goodies from Lowbrow Customs. mainly wanted the Death grip gloves, but I didnt want them to get lonely on the trip over so....

 

Feels like christmas all over again!!
