Drained the fuel, horrible stinky varnishy brown stuff came out. Tank is a mess inside. Carbs came off, one carb mount was glued on using mastic. Carbs came apart, more mastic was used on the float bowls contaminating the fuel inside. Choke plungers were seized inside the carb. It wasn't looking good, bearing in we'd just got rid of a registered, taxed and MOT'd bike Need to take the engine out to get good access to drill the snapped bolt out and retap it   Choke plungers drilled out ok and I had a couple out of some scrap carbs that jaz picked up    Stinky tank (nuts used to break off flaking rust)  |

Carbs went through an ultrasonic bath on monday, nice and clean now 5 litres of fresh fuel and it fired straight up MOT booked, and then all the paperwork off to the DVLA to issue a nice new reg     |
