Start of strip down

 First job is to get the thing to start, by cleaning out the fuel system  refurbishing the carburettor and checking the valve clearances. 

Carb is a bit of a faff to remove.

After disconnecting the  throttle cables, choke and fuel pipes - releasing the bolts to the airbox allows it to be wiggled back a few inches to allowed just enough room  for the carb to be removed from its isolator and pulled clear of the frame.
