After many years of sitting idle with it's fuel slowly evaporating and leaving behind a deposit in the fuel lines and carburettor that you could seal a road with, a careful clean and the experience of son to help his father, a new battery, replacement gaskets in the fuel tap along with the modification to get rid of the vacuum tap, fresh gas, full choke, a couple of stabs of the starter button and after many years of silence my recently purchased and lovingly restored RE5 sprung into life. A real "Woo Hoo" moment. All that remains now is to replace front wheel brake caliper seals and pistons, relicence and a long ride is in the not too distant future. Pictures will be posted in the not too distant future. My sincere thanks to Jess and Barbara for their guidence and steady supply of spare parts when needed.
