Hi

The carb is incorrect isn't it? the float chamber is on the 'wrong' side - also the exhaust appears to have been reduced in diameter at the head by some 'lovely' bodging.

On the plus side, there's a lot of additional decals there for your money :roll:

Regards Mick

Kick start shaft looks a bit battered as well.
If it ain't broke, fix it till it is. ;)
