I have done away with both the original choke and petrol tap lever, so I have filled the holes and smoothed them off. Here is a photo from early in the build:

Slight hijack
I always like to look beyond the photo subject when it's someone's garage/workshop to see what else is lurking.... I see ;
The backside of red small frame poking out there.....and a frame that looks like it would take a F/G one piece back end
What's the story on them two, Martin?

Yes, the red small frame is an SS90 copy with a PK136 polossi engine and a V Force reed valve. I am caretaking it for my son, who currently resides in the US. The story of the repairs to the bodywork is a long-one, it not for this forum.
The other scooter is indeed the Arbarth scooter that has been the test bed of many Oily Rag articles in Jetset. I have a refurbished engine for this sitting on the shelf, ready to go into this frame so it can go back on the road. All I need is a bit more time in the workshop. If only the government could force me to stay at home for the next few weeks.

Want route have you taken with he cable,IE followed the throttle or not? Carb on the LH side so looking at if possible drilling an extra hole in the rubber cable guide, good idea or not?
Cheers Shane.
