Pretty much finished building the engine to go I the bike the stage 2 came out of. There's probably another hour or so of work left and I can get the bike built up and off to a new owner.

new owner? waaaaaaaaa? this isnt your bike you are selling is it?
No, no. It's the one that donated the stage 2 and other nice bits. It's a bit scruffy and the plastics have been down the road, but it'll have a fresh engine and a couple of nice bits going with it.

Mirror in the garage so you have something to throw the hammer at?
Is this the biker equivalent of having a mirror above the bed

Checked the cam timing and everything is pointing in the right direction. I haven't got the kit or knowledge to check the timing is correct for the cams, but since it's not noticeable out and Roger built the engine I reckon it's going to be OK. So it's the carbs or something major, or a combination of about eight things. Monday with the stock carbs will be a telling day.

If you every need a walk through on degreeing cams, let me know. It really isn't that tough and the kit needed was under $100 here in the states ( and could be even less if you print out a degree wheel off of the net).
All you need is a degree wheel, dial indicator, and a magnetic base or some way to mount the indicator

I actually got out on the Storm today
Great to be out again, the last ride-out was 25th September 2020
I needed to get out for my well being. I also realised the petrol in the bike was now 6 months old
I have been running the bike up to NWT every 6 weeks or there about. Fortunately the bike seemed to be running fine, so on the way back home I filled the tank with Super unleaded. Then another quick blast to get some into the carbs,
Chris.
