This little bike is mainly used during the colder months when others are put away. What that means is every summer it comes part for a good cleaning and service. This year that took a little longer as in sorting out the jetting, new ACOV diaphragm and new choke it produced a bad stutter around...

Eventually managed to wiggle it out but it...

Started no problem, got it to work, stripped off the tank and panels and as I fiddled about the chokes freed; typical, but I took them to bits, fitted new cables and everyting is hunky dory, a typical AT job, faff...
