Nice update Simon. Looking forward to seeing the next installment.

Rainy Saturday afternoon brought the temptation to spend it in the garage rather than the sofa.

Started cleaning up my carbs.

Split them down and started cleaning up the manifold. The Irmscher casting is quite rough so actually quite happy with how clean it's come up.

Carb before;

After;

Manifold and one dirty carb left to clean!

Will get the other carb done then it's onto refurbing the Bilsteins.

Thanks.

Looking good si!

Nice, please run air filters

**SRimon** · 24-01-16, 02:39 PM

Probably going to run these for maximum noise.

Keep up the good work & yes do run a filter; you wouldn't believe the damage sucking in random bits of rubber does just from road use.

Last update on carbs, final one cleaned and loosely put back together.

I've bought the paint now to do the shocks so that's my next wet play activity.

Some nice bits to bolt on!

Good to see a nice example fall into good hands too!
