It liiiiiiiivvesssss!!!

Woo fucking diddly hooooooooo!

Petrolcan and I [1] spent a good afternoon working on the CB and she is now
purring like the proverbial kitten.
After I rebuilt the carbs, refitted them, replaced the battery and got him
to give it a quick once over to check the handiwork.
Hook the battery to the golf for power, gets the easystart out and gives it
a coupla squirts in the air box and she started to cough a little, which was
a fucking lot more than it had been doing previously!

Mined ewe, as I was thinking about the reasons why it wouldn't actually fire
into life I started with the simplest thing first, i.e. petrol.
"Is it getting into the carbs?" I was asking myself as I looked at my feet
noticing the fecking petrol tank sat there!! Doh!

We couldn't believe we hadn't noticed, therefore I'd like to apply by proxy
for a YTC# for petrolcan [2]

Once the tank was all connected etc, she fired up lovely
Dead chuffed I am, tightened the chain up too which is better.
All I gotta do now is, change the engine oil, get some chain oil, new air
and oil filter and rebuild the front disc callipers and she'll be ready for
an mot ! battery's even holding it's charge!

[1] Well I did pretty much all the work, but on saying that, if I didn't id
never learn about what and how to do it would I?
[2] I don't deserve one cos Im allowed one mistake being new to this surely.
[3]
[3] Its prolly not good enough grounds anyway [4]
[4] but it certainly was funny

 

Not with your posting name surely?

There is no way that is a YTC worthy event. You might qualify for a
PM number mind

Do the callipers first, now that it's going you have to make sure
that it stops.

 

Oops. Thought 'Petrolcan' was responsible.

 

Heh

No feckin' way, there was petrol in that tank, no dispute

heh

 

Feels good doesn't it.
The number of times I've stood there looking at a lump of metal on the
bench thinking 'how the **** am I going to get this working' then
several hours later Brrrrmmmm. Excellent feeling.

 

Usually with me it's 'why the **** am I going to get this working'
followed a bit later by ring, ding, ding.

 

Certainly is
Right, Im off out on my Scooter
