With a cold engine!.....you should only need to undo the 3 lock screws then turn the choke until round so the flap just closes (remove the airbox+pipes) over the top of the carb and then tighten up the screws (not too tight as they WILL strip!)


fire up and run - or turn on the ignition and leave for about 10-15 mins (you might need to recharge your battery though :mrgreen: )
It is by will alone that I set my 'van' in motion!

forgot to mention there is a stepper cam inside the body so you'll also need to open the throttle a bit to set the chokes to close fully
