Finally, after ( small cough ) 2years and 9 months this barn find breaths again,is there a feeling like it when this collection of metal parts splutters into life I can,t believe how long its taken It was back in 2016 Oct when I picked up this very sad example up and this engine has fought me all the way ( wrecked crank, seized barrels,broken studs,etc ) ,also the ignition laughed at my attempts to raise a spark ,in the end I stuck on the points system from an old KH250 engine Ive had laying around for 35 years,glad I kept it I,ll probably try the Accent system upgrade when I,ve sorted it in the future .Anyway it was great to fill the garden with much smoke and that noise ( only have one baffle so far ),loads more to do of course and whoever said it looked like a money pit when I first posted it..........they were damn right

Great to see another one rescued

Thats great mate ....oily rag resto or a minter ???

Don't think or not worried if its a minter Rob , just happy to get some miles on it perhaps, as long as its basically original but I won't get too anal over it, trying to make the process a pleasure really, well that's the aim

Nice to see another one saved

Ahhh its a "d" .....got parts for that fella

Hi Rob , it’s an H1E, got some nice new coils for an H1E,also a Rexspeed CDI box which I won’t be using either

nice one Mick put that crank to good use

Cheers Gary, lovely work on that crank, thanks again

NO PROBLEM
