    Well done mate, it always feels rewarding to get an old dusty bike going after many years, I,m currently working on a 1986 Suzuki Roadie 50, I’m looking forwards to getting it going.

    In 1988 when i was 15 i got a honda express 50cc on a V reg for £25 got it on the road on my 16th Birthday Loved It. 30Mph Top End I Had Mates Taking The Piss Until It Was On The Road Then They Wanted One. After That I Had Suzuki Er50 And Then A Yamaha Ar80 .Great Times.

      Hiya bud, yeah they were great times. I had a c70 when I was 16, but put a 50 badge on it. Lol
      People used to take the wee wee out of me, yet now when I ride a c50. Nothing but respect from everyone. They great bikes.

      @@monkeyroo8740Never heard of a ‘Caren’ over here (U.S.). Looked it up online and saw where a company converted them into a microcar called a ‘CydesCar URI-II’. It was a 3-wheeled contraption with a plastic shed-like enclosure, with the 3rd wheel on the left side. Crazy looking but you didn’t need rain gear to stay dry!!

      Hiya buddy, what I've done I the past is either pour a little petrol down the pipe and burn it out (in a safe place) or soaked it in costic cleaner over night.
