Border raider.
I was given this around two years ago, it sat as found in pieces but running in a small tool shed in the orchard for around 18 months, then the rolling frame was wheeled outside where its sat the back end of the summer and through this winter .
I keep walking past it and even covered it up with a plastic sheet which blew off months ago, and this morning i walked past it and thought i have to do something with it . I Decided if it ran i would do something with it. I got a jump start pack and a pint of fuel the cdi and the coil put them back on and it turned over i pit a little fuel in the carb and first spin it struck up for about 10 seconds then cut out and flat refused to start, so any oxidization present in the carb is now well and truly in every jet and passage in there.
So it ran at least for a second or two, took the cdi off it and decided its a project now, it just made the jump from clutter too clutter i am going to make good and more or less immediately as i want to take it around the north of scottand this year if i get time .
