Nah, Suzuki just had the best idea to keep the fuel tap higher than the bottom of the tank. Like, on everything.
Festidious regular tank draining and cleaning is the only answer to an 80's Suzuki that goes outdoors at all.

The weather is occasionally mildly controversial in Taranaki. A few years back New Plymouth recorded the highest sunshine hours which must have come as a surprise to those in the corridors of power. They said the figures were wrong and ordered the measuring equipment replaced. Next year, with shiny new equipment, New Plymouth again recorded the highest number of sunshine hours. Nature's way of showing the middle finger?

Lol I have a mate who's a retired boffin ,he loves data. He put a rain gauge on my fence to collect data.
I'm close to Lake Horowhenua and the weather is totally different to where we were before, close to the Tararuas (rural) Levin.
Another mate is close to where we were and our rainfall here is always about one third of the old place.
Haha, messes with Mr Boffins head !!!!!!!!!!!
(he lives Waikanae which is shit weather compaired to Levin).

If it weren't for flashbacks...I'd have no memory at all..

There is a weather station high on Mt Taranaki that completes with one high up a gorge inland from kowhiterangi for the most rainfall each year.
The Cropp rivers record is 18 meters in a year with a 48 hour record of over 1 meter.

C10 seems a bit fast being a 250 side valve.
Ariel make a 200cc version I think with 3 speed called a colt. Far more sedate. If you want one I think we have most of one.

Peter Egan loves Nortons and there is a really good series of articles about his "last" resto of one. Expensive. Cool bikes though. I saw one of the remanufactured ones (that went tits up) last week. Lovely.Sing along.
