  1. Sounds like a plan, I won't get the chance to have another look til next weekend unfortunately
  2. Looks like it's leaking from where the pipe goes into the carb
  3. As the title suggests, I've got a leak on the BST 36 carbs on my 1200 bandit, from the small metal pipe on No 4 carb by the TPS , only leaks when the bike is running , do I need a repair, or does it mean something is blocked , or new carb ? Thanks In advance
  4. Thanks @Captain Chaos, I've just measured mine at 6.7mm , so I'm totally baffled as to what's causing it
  5. Got a problem with my B12 revving to 6k on tick over and wont settle down, carbs are BST36 , just stripped cleaned and rebuilt with new o rings and float valves etc , I've done a few checks 1 idle adjuster is backed right off 2 butterflies are all closed 3 slides move freely up and down 4 sprayed carb cleaner around, no air leaks as far as I can tell 5 plugs are black, so its running rich 6 disconnected all cables and no changes I've attached a pic of the carb plunger, theres about 5 mm of it still protruding with the choke off and no cable attached, so is that normal, or is something maybe stopping it going fully home
  6. Done the last 4 with halfords engine enamel, not had any problems
  7. Cheers, forgot about YouTube, normally my go to for learning new stuff
  8. What about these 2, do they seal using compression or do i need thread tape ?
  9. Cheers fellas, this is all new territory for me, only info i could find was about cutting the braided hose
  10. When you do a swap for the standard oil cooler and lines, do you need anything to seal the fittings that go into where the banjo bolts would be, as in do they need a copper washer, o ring or thread tape ?
  11. Didn't realise how long ago I posted on this, still beavering away in the background but keep forgetting to take pics, I've just torn down the dry build ready for paint powder and polishing, and I'm in it for WAAAAAAY over the initial 1000 budget, partly due to custom yokes and a change to R1 forks , my assistant mechanic is sadly no longer with me , the big C took her in September last year
  12. Used Halfords on the last 4 engines I've painted too
  13. Its on its way to fat bloke for a stem swap
