The duck is alive! The dizzy drive was out but 180 degrees, which Paul found after some investigation :-)
The to do lits... fit a new brake line, adjust the N/S ball joints, bleed the brakes and fit the flip front! MOT Friday maybe....

Front suspension tighter than a ducks ar~@. Brakes on and fitted, more bleeding and brake adjustment needed all round. Only big job is to secure the flip front onto some new mountings, then all the little jobs, replacing the bits robbed to help other during the summer  Fresh coat of primer on its way too! ;D |

Success! Got the ducking near MOT ready! :-)
Lost three hours getting the ignition correct... Found a slight mix up in my setup in the second hour...
Anyway, set the static timing to the good books 9deg BTDC, adjusted the contact gap with a dwell meter to 57 degrees and she starts on the button now ;D
Spent most of the evening on the electrical gremlins, found most the issues with corroded connections and one broken earth wire. All the lights are now tip top, just the mist and fast wipe on the wipers to resolve.

The Duck is back, T&T and a fresh coat of primer ;D Failed the first MOT on a blown rear number plate light and a fuel leak from a stuck carb float. Sorted.
Thank you Dean, Matt and Paul for your help with the bits and bobs.
