    The horses get fat and lame otherwise.

    14-15/44 at the moment.

    14-15-16/46 when the chain finally dies.

    The carb is pretty much as carbed out as the stocker can get.

    I suspect you are right. Looks like there is some gasket goo there already.

    Might get the job quoted to be done properly.

    I get 22 km per litre commuting from Upper Hutt to Welliington and about the same when on the open road sitting at 115 - 120. Less when thrashing it of course.
    I recently got an IMS tank from justgastanks.com and found them good to deal with and it took just six days to arrive.
