Day 12: WE HAVE SPARK!
After a solid effort by Karl and myself checking the electrical system, WE HAVE SPARK! She lives! Today has been a monumental success! More to follow...
Well I am a fixer. Always have been, always will be and after changing the engine in my 1996 Jeep, everyone keeps telling me I should have a blog about my next project. Well here it is! A labor of love, the Montesa Cota 123! When I was in high school some buddies of mine and I had a sort of motorcycle shop where we did all things motorcyclish. From stripping down to the frame and painting to you name it. This was Karl's motorcycles from then and there. I am going to make it ride again! I was told before the original problem it ran, though I don't think I have ever seen it do so. This is not the first time I have gotten a motorcycle in a bucket, 1984 KLR 600 for one, and I rode that for years when I was done. I hope you all enjoy this as much as I am;)
