This is the best way of showing images - but it won't let me set as default...

My experience fitting the delkevic was that at first I thought the tailpipe wasn’t going to fit....but if you leave the headers loose and jiggle it about a bit you can eventually work it into position....
Either way the bike looks cool 😎

I have had two of them in the past & still have one in the loft.
The K model Guiliari seat can't be fitted. Due to the completely different rear fender/butty box on the F.

Longer ride on it today and it goes quite well although leaks fuel from the overflow pipes.At 3900 rpm it’s doing 50 mph,is that right?Depends what gear you are in.

Used the quote button on Julie's post and then deleted the text above the bit I wanted, checked it with preview and it showed like it's now displayed, but thought it would post correctly a bit like it doesn't show photos in preview.
Where have I gone wrong :)

I’ll use () here or the system will display as a quote …
(QUOTE) starts the quote
(/QUOTE) ends the quote
Anything different is what we (in the trade) would call a syntax error.
If you delete the end quote, it takes everything you write and includes it in the quote box.
If you delete the start quote it just puts everything you write in as text.
Here endeth the coding lesson.

Edited original so it now displays as quote. :D
I worked more in algorithms, some hexadecimal editing amongst other stuff in obscure systems. So a bit unfamiliar with this.

The trick is to watch the contents of the square brackets.

It’s called Bulletin Board Code (BBC) and it’s like a cut down version of html (the language that most websites are based upon)
Anoraks can look it up and see what else you can do.

You have to use square brackets in BBC James.

Re the leaking carb, it's not always float adjustment or a suspect valve......when you have the float bowl off, take a very careful look at the thin brass overflow pipe, they have a habit of splitting along their length, it can be quite hard to see......it took me a while to find it on my K0, but when it happened to another carb it was the same thing.
Clean it up with a fibreglass brush or similar and a tiny amount of solder, just enough to fill the crack will fix it......(low temp modelling solder was very easy to use) ......permanently thus far, and mine was repaired about four or five years ago....check the overflow is still clear and you're good to go.
No idea if the F1 has clip on float bowls, but if so, it beats taking the carbs off......

The same can happen with the brass tube that goes up into the tank from the petrol tap for some reason.

Also if the tank has been corroded watch out for the filters that are just under the float vale in the carb as mine were plugged up, see below.
