just open the window and back it up for the first crack on the starter button, just what the neighbours need on a sunny Sunday morning.
here's my 1968 Gitan Grillo Export sport

it ran about 10 metres once, dirt in the fuel tank diagnosed and put to the back of the restoration queue.
because this is the current job, which actually belongs to my wife; a Bimota YB4.

biggest headache was finding a new wiring loom- this one is from a YB8 i.e. which will do the job for the injection side of things.
