Just spend 10 mins with some degreaser and a pressure washer, heres a warning to all do not use industrial degreaser on aluminium!

I now have marks all over anything thats alloy and not painted. I would have been pissed if I paid more :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I just looked in the gas tank and there was some nasty varnish smelling 2 yr old gas, so I figured what the hell....

Second kick it fired up and ran perfect!!!! All the gears work and it runs tits :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool:

Geezus, what a steal. Why did you run the old gas, shouldn't you first dump it and add some clean new stuff? The top end needs proper lubrication, and that old stuff could hurt the rings and bearings.

The main reason was just to see if it had enough compression and spark, when it fired second kick I just had to go for a spin!!!!

It ain't being run anymore anyway, its gonna be in pieces an hour after work today :wink:

Do I win $20? :D

I believe what you have there is a Noleen pipe , they do not sell them any more and I believe a company which I can't remember the name of , off the top of my head bought the tooling for that pipe.
