@ the doctor 46 thank you for that encouraging news
I have had the mot on Friday (passed with flying colours) the mot tester was very impressed with the bike, I have booked it in with a mechanic friend of mine to have a service and the carbs balanced and cleaned out.
I took it to him the other day to book it in he took a quick look and noticed that the rubbers in between the airbox and the carbs had perished where it has been standing so that doesn’t help with the running of it.
