The bike is a import from the USA to England , I found this state sticker on the rear fender under the seat



Looks like its from Iowa ;D


Pulled it to bits slightly , have a new battery , 2 new plugs , Have ordered a new ignition lock ( Keys lost ), new petrol tank cap ( keys lost ) , front brake lever ( Broken )

Took the carb float chambers off and found this


.


10 year old fuel like pea soup , thick green sludge , need a good clean out

Will update the post in a few days as things progress ;D

For sure................the poor bike has been neglected
However, it has potential.................lots of cleaning. Does the engine have compression?

Yes it has compression , not going to do much to the bike until I know it runs OK

It looke like it has potential. those carb will clean right up so all you need is spark and compression and you have it made.
