Got a gold one. Took ages to get it running right. Off road since 86. Sonic cleaned carbs , new jets and everything. Still couldnt get it running on three. Even though carbs spotless throughout. Gave up and bought a refurbed set in px for mine. Ran perfect straight away. Now have found a set of new old stock exhausts for 300 quid, even though the originals are okay but they going on it. Doesnt feel fast like it did when i was 20 in 86 if i had a go on one. But its fab 😊😅

I had an exact replica of that 380 on a T reg, she was a dream and I sold it and bought a brand new 350LC on a Y reg must have been mad. The 380 handled and looked much better. The stupid things you do when you're young and daft. Excellent video. Well Done .

Thanks! My Dad had the 350LC when I was a kid. He bought it brand new. It met its demise when a taxi driver pulled out on him and he smashed into the front of it taking out his ACL on his left leg. The bike was totalled. One indicator lens survived. 😢

Good video. I once had a 250 Super Six Hustler which developed a misfire after its first service and the problem turned out to be a missing washer under the main jet - how this had occurred is a mystery - but it was not laid in the float bowl. The fact that the washer was missing allowed the emulsifier tube to rise and fall at will hence the rough running/misfire.

Had a head-on crash with an escort van (yeah, my fault) smashed myself and my brother who was on the back, bent the forks so that they followed the front of the engine and squished the front wheel to the point where the rim was touching itself and the hub. By the time I had recovered sufficiently, my dad had replaced the front end, the wheelbase ended up a couple of inches shorter due to the headstock being pushed back but it handled fab! Definitely the kind of bike that if you hit a brick wall on it, it would come out the other side without you!!!

Any mechanics out there? years ago I had a Honda CB 77 and found it was only firing on one cylinder, it was the plug, put a new one in and it was perfect till I turned the engine off, found the new plug was dead, it would start and run after a new plug was fitted but after turning the ignition off the new plug was always dead, never found the problem, just sold the bike however I always wondered what was causing the problem, any body know the reason?
