Before afternoon cleaning, I went in the mud 😔. The carburetor tuning is not to bad, the bike is easy to start cold or warm 😬. I love the torque for climbing off road. I just have now to watch my mail box for the registration 😕... The project will be done 😳.

Great, sides covers and fuel cap arrived from Inmotiontrials in UK. Sides covers are not perfect but fit to the bike (cheap if you compare the Ebay prices 😬). I now have the original gas cap ✌️...

New silencer, still waiting my covers from UK, international shipping with Royal mail are not working: https://www.royalmail.com/service-update Result I am now buying in Spain (my exhaust and few items), I am also waiting for my registration, normally around 3 weeks with the Vermont DMV. As the exhaust is completed, I can work with the carburetor setting, however the bike is very easy to start. NB: The led bulbs are amazing, especially without battery.

I just install a speedometer / GPS : Cycplus G1 https://youtu.be/c3zyghx4fpI So cheap but magic. If needed, I have 12DC in my bike then I could install a plug for the USB cable and keep the battery charging when riding. However it's a dirt bike and road trip will always be short.

I bought a kit ignition and 12dc supply for the Bultaco: https://www.electrexworld.co.uk/acatalog/STK-154L.html I did the electrical harness myself. Easy, I always have lights, the head light came from Ebay... I have no battery which is not with US request for street legal bike (some state have no inspection for Motorcycle). This bike will never spend a long road in the street...

A properly set carburetor will help a lot 😏, ...

Funny, don't forget to fill the gas tank for the carburetor adjustment 😝. During the first tests, the idling was not stable, I refilled the fuel and have now a much better situation. Starting cold or starting hot is easy 😏. Brakes are working now 🥶... I installed shorter rear shocks (320 mm now were 340), I am short and starting is easier, look is better for me (more trial style).

Waooh 🤣, first real run today with little dirt 🙂: This bike is amazing 😋... Of course all is not perfect: gas tank went to close to the exhaust 🤥, idling is not clean 😒, front brake needs some adjustments 😌. Nothing very difficult . We are far from the Japanese bike, good boots and the gears are going well 😏. Waiting my side covers and I will send my application for the registration... 2 years after the first post 😬.

Today, waiting the side cover and missing the fuel lines and gas cap.... I already did some short running tests with a small gas tank. Soon on the road 😏
