[QUOTE="GrantAndrew, post: 10414, member: 1338"] Thanks for the suggestions. As far as starting the bike i do intend to check for corrosion where i can also to put oil down the plug holes and drain and refil with new oil. Then i was thinking of leaving the plugs out and bumping it down the hill he lives on a few times prior to thinking about firing it up. It has never been registered. The bike was bought in a kit as described in the pictures of the brochure but my dad never finished it off so has never even been ridden on the road. It has 0 miles on fully rebuilt and refurbished engine and all the other parts were bought brand new all receipts are there to prove and are dated. The only ride it was ever used for was in 1979 when we moved house when my dad literally took it up the road and back probably 200 yards max. Since then it has been in the back of the garage all covered over and untouched. [/QUOTE]
