Looking good!

I just got one going which had been sitting abandoned in a forest for over 10 years. Very easy really - turned it over a few times to get the oil moving, cleaned the points and the carb, set the timing, hotwired it because the key was missing, and it burst into life pretty much straight away. Good old A-series engine. Theres a video on my you tube page.
