took the A10 for a ride - the first one since september 2022...
I had an issue with her being impossible to start, so I spent the winter trying all I could think of, checking sparks, fuel, compression and other things, but no luck
.
In the end she got a refurbished magneto and a new carb - and she is now on the road again, now the clutch needs some attention... it never ends ![smiley4 *smiley4*](https://www.a7a10.net/forum/Smileys/default/smiley4.gif)

You're right about it never ending Joergen.

I had a new carb on the original rebuild and it was one of the best things I did. Maggie was restored/replaced by an esteemed member of this Forum, also another one of the best things I did (apart from a new (other) ATD) supplied by another esteemed member of this Forum.

My pre-ride checks go something like this: check oil level and drain sump if it has wet sumped, check g'box and primary levels, check oil is returning, check tyre pressures and spin tyres round to make sure a big nail is not sticking out of one, check lights (work well sometimes, but I have a bad earth somewhere), quick look round to see if all the necessary nuts and bolts are there, check fuel in tank and off I go. Of course, all this amounts to a 4am start on a ride day.

With the Kawasaki, I take it out the garage, press the button, and I'm off. This necessitates a couple of checks the day before, as I know (unlike the Beeza), the Kwak won't decide to have an unprovoked issue overnight.
