Dare I ask how this undoubtedly wonderful service translates into sterling?

Mike ( forum name DogsbolloxofZ1B ) , rebuilt my engine and carbs,

After getting oil presure up with no plugs in i then fitted plugs , carbs, tank , fuel, a brief pause ...............before i dared press the go button,

UNBELIVEABLE she started instantly no smoke, leaks, rattles,nothing it was as if i'd just turned her off and re started her, all i had to do was adjust the tickoverscrew, :D :D :D :D


Now i cant recomend Mike highly enough, he did a fantastic job at what i feel was a very fair price .

Mike once again THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

Chris,
Keep the images coming its looking greeeaaaatttttttttt!

I'm happy to do more carbs but to this level they're not cheap but a fair price given the services, parts, assembly & setup time. Drop me a pm if you want to know.
