79 model year TS250 firing up after a summer re-furb.
Bought as box of bits and re-built - think the last time its ran was in 2001.
Surpised that the thing started first full kick (after 3/4 priming kicks). New Bing carb helped (old one was a real mess).
So far, no knocks or funny noises from the engine. I didn't fully strip (just head/barrel) to check bearings and seals but so far, so good.
Next step is to get an MOT and put it back on the road.
