No battery. At idle, the headlight put out a dull glow and the horn would sound like a genteel fart. At higher revs, the light from the front was modest to say the least. There was no ignition switch, of course - a little red button was the kill switch.Two-stroke oil could be added to a small tank on the right-hand side and an attached pump could be used to pump a measured amount into the fuel tank - but I always used pre-mix. Many servos in those days had a pump that dispensed pre-mix (lots of lawn mowers about, eh?).
On one of mine the lock wire on the nuts holding the clutch broke and the nuts loosened and carved out a neat hole in the right hand side casing, letting all the transmission fluid out. I cut out a round block of Perspex and Aralidited it into position and fixed that problem. Now I had a little window to see the fluid level in the clutch area. Quite distinctive - and as they say in the Guinness ad - "Brilliant". Yeah, money was always tight in those days, going to Uni and all.
Good memories of those little bikes.
Regards,
Geoff
