Running video

 Small video of it running, lights etc

The fuel gauge itself does work when I short the fuel sender plug, but not when plugged into the sender, I will look into this post MOT..he states confidently...

New ignition barrel

 I had ordered a new aftermarket ignition barrel and 2 keys..as I never had any keys when my mate gave me the scooter.

It was a different length so not a straight fit..Hopefully the pics explain the process to swap the pins over to the original barrel with a bit of dremel skimming to a working lock..

I now have a proper ignition switch 

Petrol tank cleaning

 Like the carburetor, the petrol tank had a layer of brown rust\sediment that i could seen - i did not take a pic - but as a reminder the carb is pictured below:

I have filled the tank with caustic soda (100g) and cold water - will check over 48 hours on the results.

A few minor jobs left - and hopefully booked for a MOT before Sept end.

24 hours later..

Will leave for another 24 hours..these were the deposit removals..

 

Rear wheel

 That will do for me..

Hub and wheel

 Cleaned up the wheel and loosely assembled back on..looking better..

Hoping to do the same to the rear soon 

Front wheel disassembled..

 Finally got the front wheel apart - was contemplating getting it shot blasted etc - but decided this project should be home brewed as mush as possible..

Its a given the tyres should be replaced due to age etc, guess that will be true of the inner tube as well.

It lives!!

 After playing with the air screw and idle screw..relatively smooth idle
