First kicking of the New Year and with fresh fuel the old Ducati started easily enough, idled even.
So I tried taking it out for run.
Bad bad bad bad BAD Idea.
Under load there is a huge hesitation and misfire until you hit about 4k rpm. Horrible pulling up out of the end of the driveway.
Tried fanging up Hackthorne hoping it might clear - sadly not
But worse - on the way home I stalled half way in. No way to restart, just a hillside of nasty slippery rounded river gravel that rolls under your feet and tyres.
We ended up hauling out my rope gear and practicing crevasse rescue, dragged it to the garage on a Z-pulley.
Bonus: my son also managed to start the bike himself for the first time.
It is absolutely, definately time to take a closer look at that front carb me thinks

Oh Yeah, then's the brakes and tyres to do...

that a 2:1 or a 3:1 Z pulley??ÿ it make a difference... ?????ÿ
Anything in a pinch.
Dad bought a new David Brown tractor in 1971.?ÿ It was fun reading the Owner's Manual where it used tyre, bonnet and draught.
