Re: Project Dullsville
Well in was sat outside my house throughout last winter and most of spring. I never looked that far inside the plastics. Those pictures tell me it was the right choice.

Re: Project Dullsville
Hehe. Never mind - it will make it all the more satisfying when I get it up and running. Cosmetically I don't give a monkeys. i've got some tins of hammerite sat around, and now I have a use
On a side note, never spill petrol all over the drive and not wash it away -my house mates had a dinner party last night and the whole house stinks like petrol fumes. Oooops, I'm not popular! |

Re: Project Dullsville
UPDATE...
Valve clearences all sorted, and amazingly only one needed adjusting - Honda reliability for you I guess. The rocker cover gaskets look completely FUBAR'd, but I'll give it a go and se if it leaks. Not like my other bikes leak oil or anything . Now started ripping the carbs apart. Aside from a bunch of siezed screws that required some hacksaw and mallet / punch work to remove, they look reasonable clean inside. |

Re: Project Dullsville
You know, I've never even seen a carb! Looks complicated.

Re: Project Dullsville
Looks pretty spanking... what're you doing about float bowl gaskets?

Re: Project Dullsville
How comes you pulled apart the carbs? Did it not run very nice?

Re: Project Dullsville
The whole point of Philbut getting this bike is not to get a ruuning Dullsville, its to get something to pull apart! Its the spannering he secretly likes, if he bought a new gixxer he'd strip it just to make sure.
