Well, after a 3 round Golden Gloves bout with Grandfather, i'm pleased to say he went down by KO in the 3rd Starter complete, now he kicks like a pissed off mule, good enough to fire up a 747 ! Tomorrow the carbs go back on when I have finished work. I intend to have complete domination over what lies in the workshop, down at The Manor central. Perhaps Espargaro can accommodate by putting the RR on the podium, and my day would be complete Will come back with the good news soon enough. Have a good day chaps.

So its been a bit of a shitty week. EsA didn't make the podium, MM came off, HRC spare rider would have been better off taking the train to the finish line.....What we need is some good news. I went out to the workshop this arvo, changed the pilot air mixtures screws, bolted the carbs back on, connected the battery terminals along with the associated leads to get Gramps to fire. Filled the bowls, set the dyna timing, hit the switch and..turned over, but didn't ignite. mmm.. Checked the connections, removed the retard function on the new unit, pulled out plug 4 to see if it was wet, and it was, went to turn the motor over and he attempted a start up on 3 cylinders !. Excellent. Threw the plug back in started him. Gave him a few minutes to warm up, checked the FPR at 3 psi, locked it down, wheeled it out into the street, Selected 1st, dialed on gingerly, and off we went. Hit 3 G's and fuck me, he bolted like a 2 stroke ! Backed off the throttle, wasn't using much to begin with, all this in 1st mind you, turned around at the end of the 300m private road, did it again, hit 3g's and the front wheel came off the floor ever so slightly. Throttle response is not chrisp, so I grabbed a spanner, increased FPR to 3.5 psi and tried again. Throttle response better but under brakes, engine stalled, I now suspect it may be getting too much delivery on shut down. Dialed it back to 3 psi, tried again at prior settings, at 1/8 TOTT still not crisp, lag goes away and bam launch mode ! - I will have to lean it out to the next clip im thinking and try again. Moral of the story - HE FUCKING WORKS !! Its the first ride, of the new millennium and we have progress worth talking about. Found that the oil splashes forward under braking too - will have to fit a non return valve between sump and snail, but for all intensive purposes, we have lift off Any suggestions on the throttle not being chrisp as I dial on are welcomed for investigation

Its been almost 30 years since I played with clay and fibre-glassing anything of note. Took me a while to get my mojo happening, but after a couple of days in the man-cave, we have shape and something to work toward with enthusiasm in the coming weeks. Couldn't be happier.

Been chatting with Eukanuba about some 450gsm cloth and using boat material - no itching involved, so he says. Am catching up with him later in the week to find out and get the 411 one what hes got to offer - says he has a shit load of marine product I would jizz over to finish the cowl.
