Got the Vincent running yesterday. After working out how the carb worked, soldering up the hole in the float, gapping the plug to 0.015" it runs quite nicely, though without an exhaust seems not to be inclined to idle.

Next problem is what to do with it. I know I'll never get round to showing it, and feel that it deserves better than spending another 30 years in my shed. Any suggestions? Guess I'm prepared to let it go 'free to a good home'!

Bob has not been industrial section organiser for approx 5 years now and nobody has volunteered to take on the job, so at the moment there is no Industrial Section.
