I gave a set of 105 main jets away last year Roo, wish I’d known.

[robvangulik]

Roo, do you need 105 mains? I think I have at least 2 sets stashed somewhere, and maybe 40's pilots as well. I still have your address...

[Laverdaroo]

Aaaah, Rob that would be killer, man!

I'll deffo have a set of each please and more than happy to pay whatever they owe you as this is a massive favour, that's two I owe you now!

If I can source a set of 110's I think I might be sorted  then at least i can go whichever way then. Rob thast ace pal, thanks mate

Please insert as req'd (HUGE firework emoji)

[Oddjob]

Start with the 105s then see how she runs, you can always try to raise the needles a notch as well if it feels flat mid range.

[robvangulik]

You DO have the same screw in type mains as the 750, not those with O-ring push in like the 400? Just to be sure....

[Oddjob]

No Roos are push in like the 400. Screw in for the 550K3 with the PD carbs IIRC.

[robvangulik]

Ookay, the largest I have of those are 100. The screw ins i have in 115 118 120 122 125 128 130 and 140.
And the idle jets I have in 2 different configurations, see pic.

[Sesman]

Roo will need those #40 pilot jets. The middle bag. If not I do 😉

[Laverdaroo]

Bagsey the 40's please?

[robvangulik]

The middle bag.OK.

[Oddjob]

Not sure what the other jets are off but the middle bag is the right one for Roos carbs.

[Laverdaroo]

Just come home to a box from Camcoat with the ‘zausts’ in! Whoop whoop.

I’ve waited to get a brew down and opened
He up…………chuffed with those!


Where there was heavy pitting, you can still see it but it’s on all the bits that are pretty much underneath the bike on the n/s but where I managed to reduce the areas resembling the moon, they’ve come out rather good!

I paid 60 quid for the pipe off fleabay, spent several nights trying to nanny them up and to be fair they’re a billion times better than they were but it’s hobby time do that’s free. A fat wad of abranet sheets and the final bill for the process of 360 including the vodka and tonic and carriage both ways so a shade over £400 for the set of pipes I wanted for the build and a set that are passable and will look ace on the bike

I’ve not seen a decent dent free set for sale for ages and when they do they’re knackered they still go for over a ton so I don’t think I could have done it any cheaper. Still pricey but rock n a hard place and all that. Well chuffed none the less.

Highly recommend Camcoat and the service, spot on and super quick turn around.

Cheers Ken, top contact
