finally got the bugger back together!
got the part from the metal guy, was a good fit, only minor brute force & a little ignorance required.
scott oiler is on prime, still trying to get the last 2 air bubbles out.
I was supprised to find the battery still had a full charge.
having been stood for 6 months with no fuel in it i didnt expect it to start.
It finally turned over just as the battery was about to give up.
coughed and spluttered for a bit, till i put some new fuel in, then ran sweet as a nut![[Image: biggrin.gif]](http://www.carpe-tdm.net/ipb/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif)
took it for a blast as soon as i got it started and the only thing that i hadnt got right was a wingmirror.
the fecker kept coming loose everytime i hit 3 figures on the straights (it was a private road of course![[Image: wink.gif]](http://www.carpe-tdm.net/ipb/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif)
)
ahhhhh yes. my toy is back![[Image: smile.gif]](http://www.carpe-tdm.net/ipb/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif)
i'll try and get some pics on once i've actually got round to cleaning it.
decided to ride it to work today and i actually looked forward to going, but only for the journey
big grin
