Timing

Ok so we've had some dry fays and with a new batch of enthusiasm I've been out tiring to get the girl started.
First things first, lets check the timing as we have fuel and a spark.
Wham!!!!
Timing is off, no problem, lets get the  Haynes manual out. little bit of adjusting here and there, cant be to hard. Only the bloody time plate screws have been rounded off!! Blo*$dy sods!!!

So its still raining, its rained and rained and rained. I hate the rain, I also hate the hole in the shed roof.

Any ways I decided it was time to fire the bike up, so got some fresh fuel, got some oil, had a smile on my face and tried to kick her over; no joy, try again, no joy try again. then fuels starts coming out the carb! fuck!
I take the carb off, strip it, all is fine put it back together and do the same with the other. no leeks SWEET!! try to kick her over again, no joy, no joy, no joy. BOLLOCKS!!
Not such a lovely smile now.
I'm wet the bike won't start I go in doors to cry my self to sleep, only sleep wont come cos the bike wont start.
One thing for it. call my dad, I feel like a little kid, he comes over, the heavens open we don't go in the shed. So I tried again today, still nothing. why o why. shes getting fuel, theres good spark, timing is ok.what am I missing? HELP ME WORLD.

Ahhhhhhh
What with this horrific drought we are having its rained and rained every day!!
I just need to get some time in the garden.
I'm so close, got the rear brake arm back and it just need some small mods to fit. and then pop on some foot pegs and fire it it

Spark!!!!!

Well, the electrics are all working and kick ass!!
Tested it all and we have lights horns etc.; But most important is we have a spark, well actually we have two sparks.
I'm very nearly ready for the great start up! fuel in, and hope she works!!!

So Ferrells electrics have come and gone, I now have a custom wiring loom.
He did a fantastic job, he has even converted my old Miller headlamp to take modern bulbs and also a main beam but retained the old casing, It looks pretty cool.
I go my custom made front sprocket back and of course I have made measurement mistakes so that will have to go back again, its not like its cost more than the bike put together but hey ho.
I've also made a start on the tank painting and the mud guard arms.

So things are progressing nicely. I've got every thing in place and Mr Ferrells electrics is coming over next week to finish off my wiring loom so in the mean time i though i would have a crack at making my own cables.
I read loads of different online guides and instructions. got on line and ordered my bits and bobs, which, by the way are super cheap! (so order more than you need, cos once dropped never found).
All went well accept some hot solder fell in to my shoe, so my tip is wear socks, Ouch!!!
All is done check it out, it even works
