An update on Ken's mk1 and his bike parts, guys. They're all in my shed and all are still for sale. Just helping Mole get some room in her garage for her car and save her the hassle of selling stuff from her place.
Â
I've managed to get the barn find mk1 running using my good set of spare carbs
Sooo, engine runs fine with my carbs. I did my best cleaning the original carbs, along with the help of Mr Henty. I split the carbs, fitted new seals and replaced other parts with ones from my collection of good used bits but, try as I may it would only run on one cylinder with those carbs.
As well as the bits missing mentioned in the previous posts, the fuel tank will need de-rusting, the tyres and C&S's need replacing and the rear plastics both have the tangs missing although I do have a spare set of those I could throw in if the price is right. All other plastics are errr, rough. Seat is good, it has a really nice SS 2-1 exhaust and the alloy bash plate is there.
It is rough, will need a lot of tlc to bring it up to good condition but, for anyone who fancy's a project or indeed is after an engine, look no further
Â
Bike is located in Worksop, Nottinghamshire and any reasonable, genuine offer will be considered. Due to it being part of Wicky's estate, Mole currently has the V5 as she has to notify DVLC and change ownership herself.
Some where around £350 should secure it.
Â
Also have quite a lot of TDM parts including Dabbers mk1 plastics, exhausts and other goodies to sell.
