And the Chaly was mainly done. Still got to the get the horn working (handle bar button not doing its thing) and figure out why the front brake light switch is erratic (even with a new cable). Seems to go alright with the big bore kit, not fast but goes up the Wellington hills a lot better. Might not bother with a 70 head and bigger carb for now.
Glad I left some patina ? Beverley thinks it’s ace, she’s been riding up and down our street this afternoon practicing changing gears.

New Seat & Rear Mudguard and Front Mudguard Painted
Wheels back on and I got a new reproduction rear mudguard. Bev did a fab job of the prep work on the rusty old front one. It came up a treat 🙂 Cleaned up and painted the rear light housing too. We also fitted the new seat that amazingly was ordered on eBay from a Thailand seller on Sunday and arrived on Friday. Gotta love DHL!
New Chaly tires fitted
I splashed out and bought the decent Michelin Tires. Nothing is too good for the mighty Chaly 😉
Chaly Wheels and small parts removed for painting
I think they came up quite well really.
And the Chaly lives!
A good clean up of the carb with my ultrasonic cleaner, cleaned out the fuel tank (in really good shape inside) , new fuel line, points removed and thoroughly cleaned, advance mechanism lubed, timing set with the light bulb method and away she goes!

Much work to do.
