I now have my rather grubby Rev and Speedo slocks dismantled to the point where I can lavish a bit of care on them. The trip rod on my speedo is made of aluminium and is so badly corroded that is bends with ease. Does anyone know the size of the L/H thread that this attaches to the mechanism? 3mm x 0.5 x LH?? I may have some BA equivalents somewhere and so will knock up a s/steel rod to replace this corroded part once I have the size.

Yes, that's the one! And of course it's diluted, so it goes a long way.....

I'm not at home at the moment, so can't tell you exactly which fluids I use. However, there are 2 that I use and they are bought from these guys. https://www.allendale-ultrasonics.co.uk/One I use is a carb cleaner and the other is a de-oxidising one. They are very helpful people. Matt

DSS says:
"Sorry, we are unable to confirm if this strainer is ethanol proofed but Honda has made this part for many years supplying it to countries all over the world using all types of fuel ."
I'll just go with the flow (pun) and order a replacement....

I use JIS screwdrivers with JIS screws. Philips drivers will not sit correctly in a JIS screw and the risk of rounding of the screw is very great at high torque. Just my opinion and minor experience.
Perhaps I should buy a set - you can't have too many screwdrivers!!

Whilst talking about tools, I wonder if anyone actually uses JIS screwdrivers or just Philips. I tend to use the latter with no issues but I would be interested to know. BTW, I have more screwdrivers than is healthy but no JIS ones!

I've inherited a 400/4 and it came with a load of spare parts. If you're interested have a look : https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/294987001682
Shame your are not closer to me.... Matt

Has the tank been lined?
No, not lined and fairly rust free - the black 'gunge' is the remains of the strainer washer that once had two holes! Matt

DS do a strainer kit I fitted one to my 400 but retained the original tap seal as I think they can't replicate it as one seal ring so there are two.
How long ago did you fit the kit? Just wondering if it is standing up to the ravages of ethanol... Matt

OK, 1st post Pondering why not much fuel is getting to the carbs necessitated the removal of the fuel tap only to find this mess. Can I assume this is because of ethanol in the fuel? Anyone know if the replacement kits for the strainer have ethanol proof rubber seals etc?
