If the fuel tap with the lever still works, i.e. still delivers fuel when on, it can be left turned on all the time. You’re quite right, the pump holds fuel at bay when the ignition is not turned on ...

A couple of 6Rs were raced at Macau back in the day - don’t know if they were prepared by Mistral, but it was claimed they were knocking out 186bhp. 1200 big bore and flat slides are giving me 157, ...

Very happy to blow Maxton’s trumpet - thought they’d do you proud.

I don’t want to discourage, but you’ve not chosen an easy gig there!
The pump is held by a bracket that is bolted to the underside of the frame cross member on the right hand side. The reason so ...

The tank is most likely made of nylon. The ethanol in E10 is hygroscopic, that is to say it absorbs moisture from the atmosphere - like Dot 4 brake fluid. Eventually the water will separate out of the ...

Best bet with the manifold rubber clip screws is to swap them out for M4 socket cap Allen, and use a couple of flexible shafts and a 2.5mm Allen bit.

Good luck

While you’ve got the carbs off, there are a number of things that will have it running better and give you a better range. If you want to have a chat about it, let me know & I’ll pm you my num ...

I have a small NOS stash of these. £30 + p&p.
