I feel your pain underdog . I suffered a similar fate with my CB250RSA drive oil seal. It was fine for 10 miles and then just let go in the same way dumping oil all over the road. I had to split the cases to replace the seal. Hopefully yours will be OK, good luck.
Do your air screws have springs ? They should not move
Well done you, it looks great and its a real credit to you. I know you have had plenty of agro and dramas along the way and I'm sure there will still be little problem that pop up and need sorting but that's old bikes for you. Enjoy. Oh and make sure its totally legal and safe, Mr Plod just loves to pick on something a bit different !!!
Love it well done bud! Let me know if ur ever riding it down south! I’ve not long completed my 550 brat/cafe which looks very similar! Alan
Seats fitted and took the bike out for a spin. Have also had a fiddle with and synced the carbsI think it looks great and is just what I wanted. Bikes running alright still a little stumble at 3.5k but I’ve got another needle clip position to try in the future. The front sprocket oil seal is now doing its job since tapping it into place but will keep an eye on it, just getting some drips from one of thof oil hoses which I’ll look at getting repaired when I change the oil.Since replacing the washers on the fuel tap with dowty style ones as recommended by Bryan I’m not getting any more leakage through the petcock, I am however still getting overflowing carb bowls when the fuel tap is left on, just dribbles out. Have tested the brass overflow pipes for cracks and they’re all good, have swapped the replacement float valves with oem ones but still no joy. Pushing the floats up by hand stops the flow of fuel when the bowls are off
