yep cutting out was because it was running to rich, Pissed off the oiled prefilter chux and all fixed. overheating was just normal for a BRP when getting stuck in traffic gues they are not really well suited to commuting :unsure:
Eagle : Blow me :laugh:

[Dwayne OMember]

I don`t think so :blink: 😆

When is this project expected to hit full swing ????
Gives me something to check on and break the boredom

[GregMember]

Gees Beags bloke only has two hands :ohmy:

Suspension is with Dr Nick due back next Monday or Tuesday

Parts list is bigger than Hitlers Gas Bill and is getting bigger by the day :laugh: They are all being sourced by Steve with the help of the American dude that’s riding it in the APC. I don’t expect to be screwing it back together before I get back from the Trailzone ride. In the mean time there is the basics, the dirty jobs to do. Valve adjustment, head set repack, wheel bearings etc I will be doing DIYs on most things and building up the DIY thread

Cheers

Your wife must be a lot more patient than mine if she’s let you keep a half dismantled bike on the back deck all this time! Don’t entertain much?
