  1. And gear change shaft easy to extend, if needed.
  2. We all have days like that! As they say, ‘The man who never makes a mistake … is the man who hasn’t done fuck all’! Every day’s a school day!

    Hello Franklin.
  4. Amen to that! On a par with exhaust studs!
  5. As johnr says, and, when you offer the basket up, and think it's located correctly, put your fingers under it and try to move the oil pump pinion. If the basket's located properly you won't be able to move the pinion more than a tooths click.
  6. Yup! A really talented lad. He'd tackle anything. Built a lovely Kat for a member on the old site too.
  7. Maybe the duct tape was taking up the gap?
  8. Anodised, yes. I’d like to get a clean std. finish. Not shiny. Clive’s chrome powder might be an option, if it’s not too bright?
  9. Anyone had success with ‘tarting up’ a tired Slabbie frame? Magic potions, household products ect, or specific market solutions?
  10. I’m sure you’ll be able to ‘modify’ the Sidekick sender for your tank. Once it’s in your hands, you’ll figure it out. And, welcome to OSS.
  11. Exactly! How do you measure it’s worth? Thing of beauty. Priceless!
  12. Par for the course with DVLA. They could maybe cross reference the bin to obtain the reg. Maybe not. Probably best approach the VJMC. £30 per year though.
  13. @wraithIt is good stuff! I used to get it on Westgate Hill. Around £10 a bottle. Recommended mix was, iirc, 4 parts gas-1 part YCC. The required volume is fed to the carbs. Crank the engine without starting to pull mix through. Leave for 12 hrs. If no improvement, repeat. It never fails. Can go stronger mix if required. I kid you not.
  14. Never used it but, YCC’ll take some beating. Red label only.
  15. Give YamahaCarbCleaner a go before you strip down. If it solves your problem, great! If not, at least all your internals will be nice and clean. Go for the red label, if available. Yellow label is useless shoite!
  16. @Graham6cylinder What a job! Good on you! We’re all very interested in this build, so we can’t have enough info/photo’s of it. Welcome to OSS. You’ll fit right in. Could you do a full build thread?
  17. I was just going to mention that one. I’d like to know more about it!
  18. As Tony says,screw them in until they just seat. No more. Then back out as required. The probable reason for yours differing in the amount of protrusion into the inlet tract, is maybe the po was a bit heavy handed with the screwdriver bottoming them out, so slightly enlarging the hole, thus the differing levels of … penetration.

    Gaskets?

    Go Cometic. And remember … only OE oil drain o rings do the job!
  20. @WellingtonCometic’s always an option. Your casings will be fine with paint stripper. Be sure to neutralise with baking soda, or the paint will react.
  21. Second that for Athena. Decent quality, affordable. And, welcome to OSS, by the way!
