Hi Everyone. Just lately I have been smelling petrol from my storm everytime I switch off. Ive traced a leak to the fuel tap which drips petrol for a few minutes after switching off on to the rear exhaust downpipe (LOL) , not when the engine is running. Ive stripped the tap and screwed it back toget...

It wasn't raining when I filled up but It's persisting down outside now so i'll try the drain idea tommorow and nip into Tesco on the way to the lincoln bike fest on sunday if its not sorted, thanks Benny. PS do you mean the carb drain screws?

oh, you can. it's called lacquer.

Iv'e got see through lacquer colour on mine too as it lets me see the fastest RED colour underneath.

Coming home I stuck to the speed limits through Lincoln and once clear of town opened it up and found it wouldn't rev over about 5 grand!! It runs a...

Red of course is best, any other colour is bad. Even though mine is red I'm not biased, (much).

I insert an allen key into the screw head, add an average size ring spanner to give more leverage to the allen key and push it till I've grunted twice.Simples. Of course the number of grunts is in direct proportion to the length of the ring spanner,ie the shorter the spanner the more grunts needed. ...

I'm near Lincoln, You,ll need to post em I think, I,ll send a pm after work and of course I,ll pay all expenses etc. Many Thanks for helping Mike

Have you got any left in your stash so you might be able to sell me a couple?? I would sure appreciate any hel...

I've been on a couple of linc bike nights in the past , but mostly ride with the WOLDS BIKERS whos chairman has a Storm too.Check out their website as we have a good time every fortnight Monday evenings and once a month on an all day rideout. See you there perhaps ?

It's called Ashby de la Launde and its got a church. Thats about it really !!!! Oh and its open on Sundays sometimes.

I.m in a little village in Lincolnshire, I've had to look at bike mags instead of porn, still both put you in to a good ride mood!!
