need a wife....?

Tis a fine looking machine by somebody's standards.

BTW how is project Frankfurt coming along.

 

Well, its cleaned up, bearings re-packed etc., MOT'd last week and was
running. But not as well as it should.

I rebuilt the engine with new seals. Some interesting history has come
to light.

Speedo shows 4500 miles, probably genuine as the cases have never been
split, no wear on genuine MZ consumables (even had a pnuemat tyre). The
piston and barrel is 1st O/S. The new piston has only done 100 miles, if
that. The carbon deposits wiped off with a dry cloth.

Engine back in, exhaust painted, turd polished.

Was getting tired last night (went to work at 4am) so left it, just the
timing to set up. Then proving mileage.

Not too bad for the equivalent of two weekends worth of work although I
was getting quite silly. Degreasing threads and the like. Still more or
less under budget (although a brand new carb mixing chamber cost £25).

Pictures to follow, when I get a camera sorted.

 

My mate asks they will take his off his hands for cash - or he'll even
consider part-ex.

 

heh

Kinnel that is uncanny that is.

Still, she is safe from any incestuous relationships as far as I am
concerned.

Your fucking eyes. Why do you think we never had mirrors in the house
when I were a lad?

 

Oh, right, I remember now.

Heh.

 

I've just gave them up. ;o)

That was quite scary.
