Forgot to update this.
I'm really struggling. My condition has expanded I guess you'd say and I've struggled even in the stupid mild Tassie summer to achieve fuck all.
The chook cooker is finished and she rotates under her own power. I havnt been able to get the last bits and pieces off the shell to get cracking.
I know it's just sooking. But it really bugs me that I achieve nothing with my time.

Managed to weld up bendy boy.
It's tight fitting the 2.5 inch exhaust in the cradle. I didn't really plan it too well lol but I'll hard mount this section of the exhaust to limit any bashing and crashing

Should probably chuk in with some details of where its at by now.
Stupidly close to start up.... its been trying to start, but I am having issues with timing and shit. I really have no fucking clue what im doing, so its taking a while to muddle through.

I was keen on some sneaky blockies after getting the engine started last Friday.....
Turns out I borked something in the clutch assembly, so she is now in a very sad state of disrepair...
I also managed to fucking stab the rear tail light while trying to manoeuvre her round the yard. Not a great couple days. Also crunched the fuck out of the sills on the ramps trying to get off with the starter motor. Lol. The joys of working alone I guess.
Hopefully its something simple in the clutch. Best bet so far is I fucked the throwout bearing clips to the fork. #shrugs
But its awfully close

Took the chance to sort out a small coolant t leak at the back of the head.
Wasnt sure if it was the gasket or the welds, so spooged em both #shrugs.
I was having lots of trouble with timing. I did some learning and some figuring outs, and made a piston stop to determine tdc. Then made my own timing markers for the engine. With this I figured out my timing was 180 degree out.
Played with the adap and......
Nothing. Fuckshitfuck. Timing was spot on, but wouldn't fire.
Another 3am thought woke me up. And I started checking cam timing etc. (This is the first time I've used a timing gun lol) turns out I had got the crank timing perfect, but the cam was 180 out.
So went the other way with the adap 180 change (so back 360 ) and she fired first go.
Tune is for a blacktop, so not exactly purring. The throttles are a little sticky right at the bottom of the closure, so it wants to idle at 2g... manually prop it back and it holds 800 nicely.
Im waiting on a wideband setup so I can see how bad the fuelling is (the eyes sting a bit in the shed after its been running lol) and had been keen for a sneaky lap of the block....
But as mentioned, was unable to select gears.
