That looks like a really good starting point.

I'd challenge you to a race to see who finishes first but I know I will lose - LOL.

got some more of your bikes done mick. spent ages with the dremmel ,and then a couple of goes in the ultrasonic cleaner using
proper carb cleaner. with new jets, they will be just the job.
