Ok, engine free after a bunch of wd-40 and some rocking in 5th gear, fitted a new starter relay and the starter motor burst into life, so a good day all round, one day closer to having my Kat out of my living room and on the road

got it running today, smoked like a banshee and wouldnt drop below 5k revs. and then stopped starting alltogether, chucked the battery back on charge, will have another crack at it tomorrow.

Yeah, it was running on what ever you shot into the engine to free it up. Now, the fun starts (pun). Clean those carbs. Not sure if you can get Redline fuel system cleaner, that cleaner isn't cheap but, boy does it do what is says its supposed to.

its running off the carbs but rough as hell. the battery is dying rather fast as i guess its snot charging whilst the bike isnt moving. smoke has died down too now that its burnt off the majority of the crap sat on top of the pistons. at this point i think it just needs the loving hand of someone that has a better understanding of what they are doing, ive spoken to a bloke round the corner that specialises in suzuki's and he has offered to take a look free of charge, then 30-40 per hour for any work he does. cant complain
