OMFG. I hadn’t tightened the float bowl cover screws down tight!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
The carbs are back off and it’s definitely the float bowl gasket. When I wipe the fuel away it comes back almost instantly along the float bowl...
I rebuilt the carbs with all new o rings and float bowl gaskets from v4dreams, so if they are leaking through there, it will be an installation...
Ok, cheers mate. When checking the float height I used the method on V4 dreams, using a steel rule. To be honest, it felt a bit hit and Miss, but...
You know what, I think you might have identified the issue. When I stripped it down, one of the tubes was broken, but on the other side of the o...

A couple more hours this evening. Finally installed the water pump with new oil seal and cover gasket. Then new fuel lines and fuel filter, with...
Just realised that the photo I took above was before I moved them to the correct position, as I had the word ‘carb’ at the 12 0’ clock and not the...
I did make sure they were correct before installing and made sure the word ‘carb’ was in the right orientation. Could they have spin while...
Spent a bit of time doing a bench carb sync, using the paper method, before installing new carb boots and getting the carbs back on. Took a good...
Cool, thanks. Do you mean by taking off and flushing through with water? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Really frustrating at the moment. I ordered some parts last week, including the oil seal for the back of the water pump, but with the Platinum...
[IMG] New cap gaskets in. [IMG] New o rings on the ends of the cross tube. [IMG] Oops! Oil everywhere. [IMG] The exterior is not up to much,...
Focussed on the cooling system today, following the recommendation on here to change the gaskets on the caps that sit underneath the carb unit....
