Well I'm trying but at this stage it feels like I'm going 1x step forward and 3x back...
Changed the front brake pads okay tonight. Will need to do some research before I change the brake hose as brake fluid is nasty stuff and you have to do that job right for safety reasons.
Next had a go at mock fitting the Molkt carb and air filter. Filter fouls the frame so will need a different type. Wasn't too impressed with the inlet manifold. Mating between it and the carb on one end and the head on the other isn't exactly smooth. No point in gas flowing the head if the rest of the inlet track is substandard. Also points the carb at an angle rather than straight back. Anyone know of other options for the manifold?
Also had a go at repositioning the battery with the OORacing battery box kit but soon realised I need a smaller battery, so reassembled all the old stuff again. Bit of a spark when reconnecting the battery but didn't think too much about it. Carried on working and put everything all back together.
Problem is that when trying to start it at the end, no electrical power. Turns out I had put the battery in back to front and reconnected the terminals incorrectly... Swapped them over but still dead. Battery shows 12-13V so will need to consult the manual to see if there is a main fuse that has blown. If not it may be more terminal.
Tomorrow is another day...
