I have had my GS250FW in pieces for so long that I can't remember when
it was running last. I finally stripped the carbs, painted the frame
and exhaust and put it all back together today. Guess what? It
started first flick after priming the carbs!

Runs pretty good but wont idle right as I have not set the mixtures or
idle speed yet. Speaking of which, how the hell are you supposed to
set mixtures when there is a fuel tank blocking access to the two
inside needles?

Got some fork seals on the way ($20.75 delivered to anywhere in Aus!).
I am fibre glassing some cracks on the fairing and one of the
blinkers. A bit of red paint and then new tyres and it is off for rego.

Soon to be another GS250FW back on the road.

cheers
Scott
