Hi All
If i remove the breather cover is there enough room to get the
rocker cover off without taking the engine out of the frame?
Cheers Richard

Hi Phil I'll join in this thread as well. Mine is a one owner 1974 and now i have cleaned the crud off it
has protected everything under it and everything is zinc ,silver, i know some seem to have "yellow" plating
on the cable quadrants.
Have you cleaned up your bodies yet? I'm sonic cleaning mine and i think i have read somewhere about soda blasting them
but not sure if that's correct.
Cheers Richard

At the moment i have got the paraffin out and kept the assembly together cleaning up ok.
another result "her in doors" just gave me an electric toothbrush to help me clean in the intimate corners,works a treat.(think she will be asking me to decorate or something).
I have seen the 4x carb kits on ebay at £28, looked at feedback and one comment says they are out of tolerance so don't think i would risk it.

Hi have you drilled yours out?
I'll have a closer look at mine tomorrow,while i hear what hairy git says i think there is
more than enough material to tap3mm for a grub screw.
and be able to dismantle fully to renovate.

Hi thanks for that I thought they were, hence why i stopped. The bike has done 25000, while they are taken down i was going to sonic clean them. What is best for external finish,should i do a complete rebuild? if so can anyone recommend rebuild kit, they range so much in price from £28 full kit of 4 to DS £80  ??

I bought this 750 back in September ,A one owner from new even got original purchase receipt £890-00 and new 4 pipes (he didn't want to chance them going rusty so fitted motad, my Brucy bonus)
Thought i might keep it as original but after a few rides front break needs an overhaul Carbs keep blocking
so seeing as it was such a lovely day today decided to start.
Started to dismantle carbs but i'm stuck . Is the top shaft is it secured with captive pins?
see the photo (hope they up load )
Cheers Richard

Tears just stopped running down my face,nothing like a look back at the past and a good laugh. Oh the memories. I've still got one of those tins of chain goo, don't use it now but a shame to chuck it away. I remember taking it off of my Mum's cooker and dripping over the kitchen floor oops!!! ,yes we are all mad

I have just re done a 1959 BSA tank, I sealed it with petseal back in 1985 and the ethenol has broken it down and it has sprung a small leak.
I have used a product called Slosh, recommended by VMCC members.
I also got a tin of cleaner that removed the petseal very successfully.
I'm waiting to get the tank painted before i fill with petrol and test for ethenol resistance but only time will tell if it's as good as people say.

How about drilling and tapping and putting a mushroom head screw in,shouldn't show too much.  . You could increase with washers under in needed.
