    aaaarrrrrrgggghhhhh!!

    well,

    the overheating problem solved! - 30% glycol mix and she sits on a real steady 1/3 on the guage! mint!!

    so out for a blat today, cruising round not given it too much
    definately needs the carbs tuned/balanced - pretty flat down low, then slight dropoff at about 8.5k until 10k when she starts screamin


    took a quick detour down waiu st and opened her up, holdin till about 16k in 2nd and 3rd, stopped at the top for a sec only to notice fuel leaking from what looks ot be the 2nd or 3rd carby (from the throttle side )


    ah well, back in to pull it down again

    fix the leak, tune/ balance from tss and I should be good for the 1/10/06 KB ride!!!

    cheers
    Adam

    Nice one dude~ you'll no doubt get it sorted, have a lot of fun on it, and then sell it for several times your buying price.
    Keep it rubber-side down...

    well, its running sweet

    still experiencing a small leak from LH overflow tube, no real problem as shutting off the gas stops it. think its the float valve on # 3 or 4 not sealing properly.

    had the carbs off and replaced the float bowl seals, everything else was real clean and no visual problems with float valves but who knows. not leaking as much since I pulled it down but still happening.

    threw some Spitfire fuel sytem cleaner in tonight and took it for a run, hopefully thatll clean any crap out and save me pulling them out again just yet

    also just reading that tapping on the carb can help free and shit? might give that a try too

    WOF time on monday
