Totally forgot to post this up the other day
My 600 has been off the road pending various amounts of work to get it back to a half-decent running state. Nearly 2 years after taking it off the road, I finally got the engine running again after stripping the carbs down again and using the thou to jump it to get enough power to run the starter long enough to get the bike started.
It was rather reluctant, but eventually started with no choke and no throttle - it seemed to really not like either of these when starting (can anyone elaborate as to why?)
In the spirit of the forums, here are a few photos and videos
