siggy Posted February 28, 2020 Posted February 28, 2020 Been lurking for a while absorbing info, picked up this bargain last summer it had been sat under a sheet in a lock up for 21 years. So iv been steadily going through it getting it up and running ready for summer, shes up and running and im just in the process of lining the tank and getting a custom link pipe made up for the yoshi down pipes :). Had her running on twin microns oh its quick ;) 4 Quote

siggy Posted March 25, 2020 Author Posted March 25, 2020 OK hit abit of a annoyance ! I had to line the tank as it was getting pretty rusty, filled her up and now the tank is pressurizing and weaping fuel out of the front breather hose. I take it the breather hole ? is somewhere in the tank or is there one in the filler cap ? Quote

Use electrolisis to get rust out of the tankk, it's slow but works realy well. Quote
