Excellent, thanks, looks like I should get those parts. The hole looks clear but I will check properly when I take it to pieces.
I think if you squeeze lever you can see fluid bleeding back via that hole if its clear Dumb ? have you checked to ensure nothing simple is causing the lever (rust/whatever) not to return and also lubricated the pivot

Have you checked to see if that small piece of rubber tube is still installed?
Hi Ken to what do you refer as I don't have said on mine I think

I rebuilt my MS and its pretty easy - I used the DS kit as I wanted to keep the originality. That said the kit is about the same price as their replacement Master Cylinder but as I said I wanted to maintain originality https://www.davidsilverspares.co.uk/CB500K0-FOUR-1971/part_41503/As to not returning properly I am no expert but I wonder if its due to the second TINY hole in the base of the master cylinder being blocked. Here is a link to my post about this ages ago http://www.sohc.co.uk/index.php/topic,9625.msg67666.html#msg67666As a side note the internal circlip (no 18 in the picture) needs some very long nose thin pliers or ideally circlip pliers to get it out as it's well down in the bore

Get some nitrile fuel pipe from Silicone Planet and for now, put straight pipe joiners in line to join the new to the old, save you taking carbs off.
My plan exactly are the pipes 5.5 mm ID do you know
5.4 ID Paul
Thx Julie
ordered up some pipe, 90 deg connectors (have a feeling these may work better than straight) and springy hose clips
(Attachment Link)
Julie, can you pls post link to that ebay seller? I cannot find it... thanks

What type of rubber pipes are you using Paul and what pipe clips?
I am using spring clips which I don't think are the issue, the pipe is I am not sure they are black rubber like (fuel resistant of course). I dont really want to change the hoses right now as I don't think I can do it without puling the carbs. Maybe another easier solution would be a couple of new short lengths from the petcock with a "joiner" fitting of some sort

Every time I take the tank off the fuel pipes on the petcock see to have nearly glued themselves to the petcock tubes and its always one hell of a job getting them off again.
I have tried Vaseline on the tubes but that didn't seem to help.
Just put them back on with a spray of silicone sealant and they slide on a treat but I know when I come to take them off again they will be "welded" on again
Any prior experience/tips most welcome !!

The US 500/4 K0 had a 1 year only ‘shallow’ uplift grab rail. See photo above..
I second this here is my USA 1971 build K0 showing the same grab rail

Did you ever find one, if so can you share any links, supplier?

Dunno know about Tangs but I have had no end of overflow issues and I have lost count of how many times the carbs have been off and on.
Twice I have bench tested with fuel only to put them back on bike and one of the sodding things would overflow again.
In the end i replaced with ones from Cruzinimage and things have been OK since then

Have a small oil leak definitely coming from head (suspect O rings between barrel and head)
This is a new replacement head gasket and O rings from a recent top end rebuild so its not an age thing
Trig did comment on a prior post that aftermarket O rings are often thinner than OEM so could cause this.
What I wanted to ask, is if it is worth just slacking off and re-torquing the head bolts (I know this is often a should do after a new head gasket and I didn't do it) before going the whole hog and installing OEM gasket and O rings.
Cheers

Same happened with my K0 sent photos, vjmc letter etc etc but needed an inspection.
Pain for me was that I could only insure for 1 month on VIN but luckily got the inspection done and plate issued just within the month before insurance ran out
