Hi Guys, Thought I would let you know about this one. At the moment I have the carbs of my 750 the tank was put back on bike with about 3 gallon of fuel left in. I have a pipe from tank to the tap about 8 inches long due to where the tank outlet is.
Anyway Sunday night the bike unloaded the tank into my garage The pipe had fell in half, This pipe was purchased from a local bike shop
with a famous name, It was only fitted just over a year ago when inspected it was cracked all along its length this included the length from tap to carbs. I thought I would put this out to warn others to keep a beedy eye out I don't want this to happen to anyone else,
Not only the danger but the clean up took hours.
Anyway I hope this helps even if only one Cheers and be safe.
PS. what is the best fuel pipe to buy. This has scared me!!!

Out on 750 today f1 engine, Just not quite happy with running, She is running on 120 mains with ram pipes can't remember what the slows are. Thinking of taking it back to stock 105 mains 40 slows replacing standard air box.
Have seen David Silvers sell a carb repair kit pattern parts was just wondering what the views are on these kits before I splash out.
Thanks in advance.

Thought I would pass this on it may help someone.
Had some shock bushes rusted on to frame, 1st thought blow lamp hacksaw. Instead I got a die just larger than spigot but enough to cut a thread in the bush and hey presto 5mins just peeled what was left off. What do you think has anyone done this ?.

Had a strange one today, The last time out on bike she started to run a bit rough so got around to having a look today.
Found the new inlet rubbers I bought about a year ago so thought I would fit them as old ones a tad hard, Removed carbs now for a full check and tune while there off, guess what removed float bowl on number 4 and main jet was inside bowl ? has anybody heard of one falling out before?
Will fit back to bike tomorrow set up and vacuum have a feeling she is going to run ok again.
Cheers Tom.
Quick question, Is the starting point for air screw on F1 1.5 turns.

Hi all, Its in the back of my mind to pos sell my Seeley which is I would say is at least 95% what it should be, I know this is a very rare bike but am also of the opinion things are only worth what people are willing to pay. I wonder is there anybody out there has an idea what it may be worth and how would be the best way to sell it.
Please I am not sure if I will sell just can't make up my mind so mulling it over.

Working tomorrow so thought I would ask if anyone has any ideas will then check it out on Sunday just hope its not an earth fault. Also have a slight oil leak on oilway plug right hand side where people fit oil pressure gauge not had one out before is it fitted with o ring? Cheers in advance Tom.

Just replaced stanchions this afternoon with some nos ones have had for a while, Made the mistake of looking in 3 different manuals at amount of oil and guess what they all vary. Can you help with cc's for an F1 please. sure have normally used about 215cc ?
Also noticed the one oil lock had 2 quite bad grooves at the top I would presume this is from a previous ham fist and not from the rebound spring. Have replaced lucky had a couple knocking about.
