Description

This was imported from the US back in 2017, it's fully registered for UK (have V5) and as it's a '76 and over 40 years old it is exempt from requirement for road fund licence ('tax') and MoT.During my ownership I have hardly ridden it; it's been unused for last 2 years but has always been dry stored in my garage.Condition wise it's the same as when it came to the UK, was always dry stored in USA - I would not describe it as immaculate but it is in good overall condition.The guy who sold it had the cam belts and water pump changed before selling; however due to low use it would probably be wise to change again. The carb's probably need cleaning / balancing as fuel laying in them does tend to turn a bit gelatinous and cause things to stick a bit.I have just installed a new battery as the other was dead!By all means contact me for more details and anyone interested is welcome to view.Reserve set at sensible level that I think is below current market value.If required I have a friend who does courier work and will deliver the bike for a reasonable fee commensurate with distance to travel.Thanks for looking.On 28-Jun-20 at 08:53:49 BST, seller added the following information: Update 28/6 - The bike currently refuses to start (did start a few days ago but was very 'lumpy'), I am 99% sure its a fuel / carburetor issue as not used for 2 years. I have checked ignition and all plugs are sparking so a combination of old fuel / (possibly) clogged filter / sticking carb needles is the issue. The engine turns over fine on the electric start. For clarity - this is NOT a bike that could be ridden away and will require some TLC to get running.On 29-Jun-20 at 16:16:47 BST, seller added the following information: 29/6, photo added showing detachable kick start in stowed position.
