    Well after abandoning the petrol gushing first Turbo, i turned attention to the 2nd which was to be a donor as needed much more attention,

    So i blanked off the turbo feed pipes put in pump from first bike, new plugs fresh juice and battery three blips of the starter and it screamed into life
    ( screamed as no headers :lol: )

    Couldn't keep it running as it rev's off the scale and i've done nothing with its carbs, it fires without choke so likely throttles good and stuck open,

    But more signs of life than the other

    It's always the poor neglected one that tries the hardest :lol:
