SORTED FOLKS,
First i cleaned the tank, then used a 2 pack epoxy resin on the outside of tank,
let the resin set for a day,
bought a tank lining kit 100 euro 3 part
bottle A was for cleaning,etching and removing rust,left it in the tank 24hrs
emptied out bottle A and the tank was spotless and didnt leak thru resin i had done,
bottle B was to remove any residue from the tank after bottle A
Bottle C was the the last thing to do, poured in all of it swirled it around for couple of minutes
repeated this every 8 to 10 mins for an hour so the tank was well lined
drained the remains of bottle A and left it to cure for 24 hours
next day filled her with petrol and went for 120 mile ride and not one drop came out RESULT
it was a fecker of a job tbh but its done right and i have a nice clean tank now
thanks again for ur help folks lesson learned

How are the plates fixed to the tank??....Looking at mine they seem to be spot welded on.
It may seem slightly drastic but you could drill out the spot welds on the plate and then you could get to the hole behind it and weld it permanently obviously making sure the localised area is protected from heat.Then you could weld the plate back on top.Using TIG would keep heat down to a minimum and create no harmful spatter.
It's a permanent fix but not without it's risks.
cant drill out mate its sitting against the tank the only option i have is to fill the hole and seal the tank with thick tank sealer

folks i made a 1.5mm dia hole with a tapered tap in the lower side of the fuel tank, you can see by the picture, its on my freshly painted efe ,(jack ass) iss my name for the moment lol
Anyways i was thinking of gett an epoxy resin to fill the hole and then i was going to line the tank the hole is about 1.5mm dia,but issue is that the outside plate is tapped to allow the strap to be bolted to the tank so room is tight , might be able to get a 3mm bar and put a resion on the end of it and see can i fill the hole, then i was going to seal the tank with a good sealer
what are your thoughts apart from calling me a jackass ,

I have taken to using Yamaha nuts on my bikes. They are 8mm and use an Allen wrench to snug up. These have room to be drilled for safety wire if desired.
Sorry, I should've added the part number.... 90179-08004-00
thank u mate

From the part # Google suggests this is from a GSX1100 ET (GS1100 for our US cousins) and not the GSX1100 EFE (GS1150) - hence why it doesn't fit right!
i think it is off a gsx 1100 so its not for the efe, it is brand new original system not a blemish on it i willo sell it here and try find one for mine
-

88 slingshot 750 carbs issues
in Oil Cooled
Posted
Right folks I need the experts, my carbs were fully rebuilt by myself and all genuine parts, jets,needles,gaskets,seals the full monty here are the concerns
Have I got the right carbs ?
When I first fired her up she ticked over low and not too bad, I then put the clocks on her and she started to Rev at 3 to 4 k on her own ?, are some butterflies stuck open ?, even with idle screw turned off she revs high
All standard airbox, filter, rubbers plugs,leads, everything genuine Suzuki and new,float heights perfect, main and pilot new
I ultrasonic cleaned the carbs myself have a look at pictures, one of the pics shows my finger pointing at a hole that’s drawing air where the other 3 carbs do not draw air in same place, this should not be a hole as not filtered air did the ultrasonic cleaner make this hole ?, I can seal this easy, but even plugged she still revved at 3 to 4K on her own
Have a look at pics and vid and see what ye think before I pull the carbs
This was hap import but got all euro spec now even standard cdi and exhausts
