Previous owner had no idea what to do with the carbs, but he did it anyway :)
Result: poor starting (or no starting at all), erratic idle (or no idele at all) and huge fuel consumption. After some 2 hours of care, bike started first kick and idles great (also performed a manual sync - vacuumatic one to follow shortly).

frame cleaning RT125
not much progress as we have been busy with some in-house upgrades, but started to clean the RT frame. All in all, looks great, as expected. Needs another session to be completly done, and after that a coat of primer.

MZ ES 250
This bike is in my family for 40 years, but unused for the last 20; was repainted (poorly) some 4 years ago and all the mechanics redone, but without being started; yesterday we put some gas in it and had a spin, and let me tell you, what a feeling :D
I'm also planning a full restoration for this, and will most probably NOT be for sale :)
had some problems with the petcock,a s it was rebuilt with a wrong type of rubber, so it expanded and stopped the flow of gas... will need some tinckering before heading to the authorities for the new plates, but no major issues
