So I've got The James in the garage, what now?
It fits in the wheely table I've used for other projects like the CBR Ressurection and EleXTrical XT400, that's handy.

I was having a few problems starting it so I thought i would do the usual checks and found...

• Kick start not turning engine over - chain from gearbox to engine is in a soild mass in the chain cover.
• Fuel not getting to carbs - tank empty, possibly because the fuel pipe is missing
• No spark - maybe caused by missing spark plug, or no HT cable.

The clutch is also a bit broken at the gear box end (there are ways round this I understand).

I may also have an engine a couple of years older than the frame, it will work but I won't put too much effort on this until I know for sure and decide what I am going to do.


The missing bits include:

• Tyres
• Seat
• Rear mudguard
• Rear subframe
• Rear brake pedal
• front brake cable
• clutch cable
• chains
• fuel pipe
• headlight
• tail light
• foot rest rubbers
• Wiring is decayed/non existant
• round thing that lives under the tank

Stuff that is in serious needs repair or replacing:

• wheels are not true and spokes are bent
• all bearings
• engine nuts and bolts well worn
• gearbox clutch assembley
• front mudguard not 100% fit

Not much to do... hmm... I have time and patience :-)
