You've ruined it

This, obviously.
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

I think its looking better except the yellow headlights though  :lipsrsealed:
Shame I couldn't drive it the tick over was high but I thought it was just cold didnt leave it long enough TBH.
Funny you say the carb might need a good clean because the chap said he wanted to webber convert it for his son so that said he might have known an issue with it, either way it should be a easy fix on it.
My old Pierberg unit needed taking off once in awhile and tollarances re-set on the butterfly's even a leaky rubber gasket plate can suck too much air in hard to say untill its off.
looks better lowered though  :smiley:

The yellow lights make it look like it needs to visit the GUI clinic.

 :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: glad the yellow lights arent meeting  many peoples approval, if only you knew  :tongue:

clippy,  idle seems to have resolved itself, a good trash  :lipsrsealed: with fresh fuel and some carb cleaner  :laugh:

to be fair theres nothing that seems a major worry with it, the gear change is "  interesting " but just adds to the driving experience

Stick some fresh gear oil  change the rod links hopefully thats all it needs shame I would have spotted the dodgy box if I got to drive it. :grin:
TBF at the price he was offering theres not much lower we could have gone in price, glad it didnt go to full egayness though!
