Sorry for the delay.
Had a visitor, much more important than updates.
So once I got home from Craig’s and dropping off some 8” caster wheels for mate Martin to fit to his rotisserie to make it mobile, I had a cuppa tea, then went down to where Prozac was parked and started to unload some stuff, getting to this point, I realised the size of the task ahead.
Unloading actually allowed both wheels to free up a bit as this has been stored indoors and outside for many years.
Sally was possibly not overly impressed with my filling the space we cleared last weekend for the Red C10’s bodywork to be started and done in with another silly project...... but she has two petrol head sons, so totally gets it.
The older one, Luke at 26 seems to have the same mentality as I do regarding this sort of thing and approved.

Not very big.
Minute carburettor on this two stroke 50cc scooter.
No idea how dirty it all is.
Got the gas tank open, dry, but added a bit of fuel in.
Got the Blazers battery out to try start it.
Only got a bunch of relay clicks, and the horn making contact, but no noise.
Guess next step will be to clean all the electrical contacts because 12 years can play havoc with it all.
Sally had come over with her dog, Bear that she had taken for a long walk too, and of course though no contact, Harley was not impressed and chose the high ground till she had left. After supervising my unloading and moving the scooter about.
After Sally left, Harley was straight in to inspect and approve the new item.
Always makes me laugh how she takes charge of stuff down at the garage
Once I had failed to coax any life out of the motor, I tidied up and parked it under one of the old bike covers Craig had given me.
So next step today will be to go back and start again, this time disconnecting every electrical connector and cleaning them with an abrasive to ensure complete contact.
Then try start it again.
Fingers crossed.
