the showman 4,074 #1 Posted June 5, 2016 With Newby fast approaching i thought I'd better start getting my stuff together, the first being the Trachorse as its been in the drive since last year. had a few things to do, here's the list. exhaust fell off, slew levers seized up, throttle butterfly and choke seized up. fuel tank had a load of crap in it and the fuel pipes perished and leaking. got most of it sorted today just need some fuel pipe and some radiator paint for the exhaust 5 Stormin, Ian, pmackellow and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
