  1. Just stare down the carb with top & bowl removed, if they're oval it will show as worn front to back, not side to side. Common with these carbs & brass tubes
  2. I was gonna suggest Air leak or Oval emulsion tubes
  3. Were the inlet Ally faces clean & not corroded?
  4. Read this for 1st time & mightily impressed (even the anal parts) When i got mine i was split between original or updated? Think i shouda gone the other way
  5. CockneyRick

    OSS party

    Into? You've always been a fat cunt bloke
  6. Aren't they for a W/cooled engine? Different spacing so i believe (Don't do water)
  7. As above, or plugs breaking down when hot, or weak spark caused by coils or plugs
  8. I have done more complex build threads than that. Unfortunately they're on the old site
  9. IIRC, the GSXR headers will flow to offside of sump, Bandit down the middle. Swapping sumps if needed will sort that. Look at my drag build thread & you can see the issues i had & how i got round it
  10. If you have the Yoshi on, then better flowing headers & a re-jet (then dyno) will help it a lot. Otherwise, it will mostly run the same or worse than a stock can
  11. Aftermarket will be lighter, most likely better flow dependent on quality. As for sump, it may be that you will have to get a strainer & sump off a different bike (see my drag bike build thread in projects) also, a few are hard to change filter with headers on, but seeing as you'll change it once in 5k miles, that's no biggy And sticking an end can on original headers & mid pipe will do nothing but look good.
  12. To stop mine doing same with a R1 shock i got @Rsvfletchto mod mine
  13. I got a spare set somewhere
  14. I might be wrong, but i think the Slabby large tank tap is 44-45mm? Sure that's wot i had to source for mine (it's in gargae somewhere)
  15. That's wot the smiley gave a hint to
  16. Just keep insulting people, you'll soon be there
  17. Is there anything you can't do? (Oh yeah, wheelie )
  18. No, the metering of fuel is done by the float, the prime just keeps a constant flow to it. The Vac will stop all fuel movement when engine isn't turning over. Downside to prime is if a float sticks (which they do) then the freeflow will just keep going & dump all that fuel thru carbs into & past the cylinder/pistons into your oil With Vac, the fuel will freeflow if the float sticks, but as it's running, it will mostly burn it off before getting past the pistons, & will stop flow when engine is shut off.
  19. That's why i said do it on prime PS no-one likes a smartarse
  20. Could also be the diaphragm in tap, put it on free flow & see if it'll run off choke. Other than that, CDI for me too
  21. It's pretty strong, I can't bend/snap it!
  22. Had a 1980 model that i used to tear up & down Blackrock Sands, back in the day when beaches were for bikes Fell off it 3 times in 10 days, before i realised it had a bent frame! Bought in bits for a £100, sold it complest(ish) for £100! Thought i'd got a result, but kicking myself now And shame is no pics anywhere of it, although i still remember the Reg: PTU 570V And it was......... RED
