I agree completely on that one David. I have bought a new float needle for one of mine and my M199 will need one soon.

I was starting to think I was losing my mind!

My RL ran beautifully with the OKO and over time got harder to restart if I stalled or turned it off.
Symptoms of loading up, kick ...

I'm still hopeful of getting over to the easet coast with the "Squirmish" one day.

And the electric Freeride

I had a TL250 for a few years and loved it.
One problem that took a while to find was continuous stalling at low revs. Turns out it was the cam wearing in the head and varying the timing due to the continuous changes in the points gap.
I found it to be a great hard trailbike, a bit like my KTM ...

I'm working up the courage to do my first-ever tank repair using the technique of cutting the tank top off the tank bottom, panel beating it and welding it back together.
The side and top rear dents could probably be removed without cutting it apart but there is some damage ahead of the filler cap ...
