Well done Rob

Chris.

spent a few hours with lollipop sticks again . just couldnt get the LC as sweet as i wanted at tickover and just of the throttle stop.

so carbs in bits. into the dishwasher then carfully put together and balanced with a pair of lollipop sticks the bikes running sweeter than ever so must have been a little dirt inside some of the carb galleries

Went for a spin on The Murvinator, just a few chores to do... Filled it up 170.9 for premium juice...Ouch

I actually got out for a spin (1st this year) on my VTR Tuesday gone I had to pay £175.9 per litre (we just as well call it £1.76, after all what is 1/10 of a penny anyway ) for Super Unleaded.

For those of us old enough not to be conned by this litre pricing, that's almost £8.00 a gallon

'Kin hell £8 A gallon !

Sad to say I can remember when it was 50p a gallon...

Ah, but that was for four star, the good stuff.

Stripped out a stater reduction gear thingy out of the scrap lump.

Cut the frame off Custurds old motor.

So now have two lumps sitting in the way anyone want them before I call in the scrap man ?

Sadly I can remember it being cheaper than 50p a gallon, but then I did have a Saturday morning job selling petrol at a filling station. I was only 16yrs old and still at school, but I did have my very first moped which I rode to the garage

You're getting there Lloydie

Good to see the sun again, although we had a lot of Easterly wind again today kind of ruining it,

Fun filled day of repacking mufflers......

Rebuilt the Mori carbs after the stuck choke needle was removed.

Started bike up for first time since coolant hoses and manual ccts fitted, she started after 5 stabs at the button.
No rattles as such, ran up to temp topping coolant and checking oil no leaks all good.

On start up from running temp a screech on turnover then disappeared I belief this the manual ccts being a little tight.

Need to check again from cold tomorrow to replicate, question is how I deal with the problem have read so many posts on the subject head is in the shed.
Any advice will be well received.
