... in nearly 6 months!
Thanks to the help of T.I.E. my bike is sporting a shiny (dull) new (old) throttle casing! Ignition and whatnot are now out of the hands of a $1.50 Dick Smith switch. Flushed out the tank of now foul smelling fuel (as opposed to fresh fuel, which smells lurvley) and gave the bike a good going over for anything else that could be wrong. Attached the handlebars, put all the odds and ends on and CRCed up the stiff throttle return system.
Fired up the bike today and... nothing. Remebered to turn the petrol switch to "on" and... vroom! There's life. Take the baby out for a quick spin around the block and she seems to be fine. Called up the garage, WoF for Monday. Beauty.
