If there's one item on these bikes that require babying it's the goddamn carbs ! ..lol

so I had a set off my 93 for the winter as I was working on them

Well put them on - whaddya know - leaking like a sive ! &$&$*&

They never leaked before I took them out !

Turns out sitting for a few months sans fuel - the orings on the "T" s that feed
fuel to carbs 1/2 & 3/4 had shrunk , cracked and dried out ....^%*%((*

Something to keep in mind if any of you Guys pull your carbs for any length of time

even tried using chain orings - just a smidge to small & stretched thin so they
still leaked

Time to order a dozen or so

 

No doubt about it Sprock, you're a materials tester!

Now what about this new Avatar? Where's Yoda???


Cheers, SB

 

LOL Seb - actually it's more to do with the "come and take them" ideal !


Anyways while waiting on orings for these carbs to show up I decided to
rejet and shim them up too......good thing - one of the diaphragms had
a rip in it along one of the ripple/creases - not seen looking at it but easily
discerned holding it up against the garage fluorescent light.

FYI they tend to crack / split in the perpendicular stress points

 

My 93 all shimmed up----->

So no sooner than I put new fuel feed "T" orings in ( she now runs beautiful I might add,
like a goddamned Cheshire cat smooth) but then I find out the rear valve stem is cracked
---------- (&(*&^)&^)&) 'er - putting me auld Pal Malbo's rims and tires on
her now - once I get the rim paint touched up - Jesus Malbo - did ya have to beat the
BeJaysus out of the rims ?

Anyways hope to have my 93 MOT/ME-Inspection ready for Monday - (DB KIllers installed )
lol.......... MECALM kiss my Iorish------ >

 

I am currently replacing the orings on my 93. Not a hard job but time consuming for sure!!

 

Spent 3 hours getting her back together. Got home, Got out for a first ride today (100km), we are swell and ready! And happy as ... undescribable!

 

My wheel trim came in the mail today. Was afraid it wouldn't match the ultra bright red of my bike but matched perfectly! Highly reccomended, "face lift unlimited" wheel decal kit. I picked this one because its not a roll, its pre-curved decals.

 

Got my 'Cane looking like new to me again....

You have no idea how hard it is to find someone around here to paint Plastic.

 

So nice to see good results!

Sound of season just begun!

 

That looks the proverbial 'Dogs Danglies' Indy!

You must be thrilled with the end result.
