First fire up

Post by Mr Bonehead »

Hi,after 7+ years I finally fired the Gt 750a up today(been renovating her)first go !!! Bit of smoke that filled the man cave up but I've been putting 2 stroke oil into the cylinders every year to stop her seizing up so there's a bit in there to burn off,all ok ,only got a fuel leak from the petcock and two of the carburettor bowls which isn't bad considering the old girl s been in 2 French barns and a trailer over the last 7+ years.

Cheers MrB

Fingers crossed,need to sort the fuel leaks out so hopefully it's a easy repair.
