Just wanted to say thanks to the forum, for providing me the level of detail I needed to get my Bird back up and running.
bought her as a non runner, with the ebay seller telling me it had been dropped static, and on restart, the throttle stuck open
long story short, i found the rh bar slightly bent preventing the throttle closing,
I also found a level of strip under the tank, and used the forum info to reconnect the fuel and vacuum lines successfully.
she ran up perfik last night, albeit I had changed the plugs and air filter while i was under the tank
Oil change next!
Bird is the word!!
