A coup!

[trolle]

Last week I met a guy who was admiring the WH8LA2, which of course is very nice  

He told me that he had some spare parts lying around for which he had no use as he had sold his r65 GS. I was of course interested and went to his place a couple of days later to see the items.

Two new and unused carburettors (right side) still in their cases, one used Valeo starter and some odd bits.

Price? DKK 700.00~$120

So now there will soon be a used Bosch starter, a used but newly renovated right side carburettor and a new right side carburettor with and old cap and a used, but fairly new float on the market.

Sounds like you got a great deal!  Can the Bosch starter be rebuilt?

Say, is it true that if you stand on a soapbox, you can see Flensburg?  That's what my friends in Kobenhavn say.  I want to go back to Denmark and buy a Nimbus.  I was amazed at how many I saw running around.

Trolle,

What a deal!  Great for you, for sure.   8-)

Deal and yes the Bosch can be rebuilt.  There is a place north of Atlanta that is quite reasonable.  Ten years ago when he rebuilt my starter I was shock to see the bill was only $40.  But that was a long time ago...

If the Valeo is in working order I will exchange the Bosch with the Valeo, and there will be a Bosch (bought renovated in 2006 for $200) on the market.

I mounted the new left  carb and rebuilt the old right carb with as much as possible from the other new left carb, so now I have two new carbs on the WH8LA2. They are from 1991 with other jets and vacuum spring which makes for a much more regular running and a bit more power. I am running them in at the moment so more follows.
