Wooo- and-indeed- HOOOOOOOOO!
She's only a bl@@dy runner!
Was at local autoparts emporium at 9am this morning. Bought oil, a few other bits and then went to fill a jerry can with fuel.
Got home - filled with fluids. Attached fuel hose at tank end. Put exhaust headers on loosly - facing forwards out of garage.
Disconnected the fuel pump. Turned engine over for 30 seconds. Connected fuel pump. A while more turning-over; doubts creeping in. Then a cough.
Next a cough and a splutter. Then it would run while the starter was turning. Soon it's firing on four cylinders and I'm a very happy
boy.
Considering the extent that I butchered the bike-loom this is a major achievement for me. I'd like to thank everyone who's helped me get
this far - notably Fesycresy, Lenny (long time since posted but still around) CJTherman, Bistilly, Worx and of course the chaps @ MNR!
HAPPY DAYS!!!!!

Bloomin' right mate. Not sure I'm ready to cut an '07 R1 loom off at the plug! I'm so chuffed - I am actually drinking
Champagne!
