Thanks
Changing the engine was the easy bit, making sure you’ve got all parts has been the problem and still waiting

Had a visit from Matt this afternoon as I was having a little oil pressure problems, matt bought some extra goodies, as I’m still waiting for carbs to turn up.
So we done a little tempary lash, with a bit of sticky tape,
Matts spare carbs and ECU we got the st170 running

And before you eagle people point out, the engine hasn’t been bolted down yet
As waiting for carbs to get it lined up.
Great day as didn’t think I would of got this far today with a running engine, a bit of relief to know the engine runs.
Thanks again Matt for today
