	Well that was worth it.
	All my fettling and carb ultrasonic cleaning on SWMBO's Honda 250 has been rewarded with an Ebay selling price of £600 (pretty close to your estimate TOG). A shame I have to hand over the proceeds as I just found where I can get an oversize front brake disc and caliper mounting adapter for the "Old Gimmer's Hillclimber".... more » By Pete Fisher  - 18:20 - 2 new of 2 messages

	I suddenly find (for reasons that are far to dull to go into) that I need to use mains power to turn on a relay.

	Google search algorithms

	OT: Move somewhere less pikey?
