With the move behind us and everything still a mess, it's time to sort out all the incomplete and new projects one at a time.

Instead of running more than one thread, this will be a continuation of the existing two builds and all the new ones for those interested.

The two existing threads that will be picked up:

CRF450X Rally conversion

https://wilddog.net.za/forum/index.php?topic=196394.0

Honda XL250S

https://wilddog.net.za/forum/index.php?topic=202989.0

So this is the current mess that needs to be sorted out:

With Easter around the corner it's  priority to get the boys' bikes sorted.  Anders hoor ek weer nooit die einde nie. [emoji849]

So the first set of punctures on the CRF70 were fixed successfully but the idling is all over the show and I battled to set the carburetor.  Continuously fouling the plug and no top end power.

Decided to pull the carb to see what could be the problem.  These little Hondas are normally bullet proof.

No wonder things are not running like it should. [emoji15]

So a proper clean would hopefully do the trick.

And then I was interrupted to get my car from the service.  [emoji35]How's this for mileage. [emoji3]

The following still lies ahead in that mess, in no specific priority:

CRF450X Rally - wiring and then it can be fired up

XL250S - Busy with the first one and still a long way to go.

PW80 - Service and general clean up to get ready for sale

KX60 - complete overhaul

RM85 - complete overhaul

KTM 640 - annual service

Honda 250 Fourtrax x 2 - one needs a battery and carb clean and should be good to go.  The other one needs quite a bit of work.

Trailer mod - that yellow trailer in the first pic, but more on that later.
