my bsa 120cc was fired up on video on furum last week , and ive got the villiers 1944 tin work to near finished
so the bsa is moving back to shed 1 for the clean up and repaint as ive desided that 2 yrs more on this tinwork and the holes will start
so off with the old and on with the new
watch this space as will be nacked in 48hrs ,if all goes well

yeah mike
as the old saying goes
"MAKING HAY WHILE THE SUN SHINES"
theres not that many of the BSAs around still like other aircooled engines
so will be preserving rather than letting it perrish
some will be going up for sale before to long,
as some i have more than one or two of the same specs and model
as i will be making room for more projects of course

just stripped and cleaned evry last piece in the carb
i gave it a quick clean before fire up but run it with 2 stroke and loads of redex
and the amount of chalky desolved corrosion crap stuck onto everthing and 1/4 the way up the fuel bowl
so it should run smoother again fingers crossed ,tap and tank to be clean later tonight
and tomorow will be a quite engine day as im doing a driving run for brass for my next projects
