Acf 50 anticorrosion spray. Amazing stuff.
Hi Tabaka, Its just not an option for me. Consider the size of the airbox hole. my engine breathes through a hole at least 10x larger. Stock jets...

My floats sit 19.8mm above gasket height at their highest point, so mebbe start there. Wet set 2mm below the lip (+/-1mm) I found that a 6mm clear...
Cheers manbot, they have stopped leaking under all circumstances. I think part of my kneejerk - straight to the forums reaction was because I've...
err vague recollections of the side stand circuit allowing the power that would usually go to the coils, to instead divert to earth. Thus - if the...
I didn't "just look at them" Float heights are perfect.
If you can remove the broken bit of tool from the pilot screw, you may still have options. Mebbe, get an impact driver (kinda like a screwdriver...

I'm looking at your rotor/stator cover and I think I'm looking at petrol stains from leaking carbs. Am I right? Cos if so, then you'll need to...
It sounds crazy. Petrol is coming out of the crankcase breather? the only way I could explain that is if your carbs are leaking petrol into the...
