Thanks BB,
It has definately been painted black and was originally silver and as you say must have had the new sticker put on following this work.
My first preference is to restore to original but if this is going to be cost prohibitive then i will settle for a chonda do over and maybe do the engine up slowly for an eventual changeover.
For the life of me i cannot find a replacement carby for this model.. only luck ive had is the kit to replace the gaskets, needle, etc.Also how do i find the parts list for this motor?
I'm doing all this from ipad so will try to upload the picture of what lies behind the chain case now:
thanks again
