CB500/550 / Re: Exhaust gaskets: Copper or alu/fibre?« on: June 05, 2020, 06:46:03 PM »Nope and dont tell me, having worked on 1950's built ships i hate to think what i breathed in That reminds me of an audit I was involved in on one of the ships I was on. The auditor was going through the stores list and came accross an entry for “CAF” jointing. CAF stood for compressed asbestos fibre. He asked, “Why did we have asbestos on board?” It wasn’t asbestos, the old terminology had been wrongly used. Thinking on my feet I said, “ CAF, completely asbestos free”. Thankfully he saw the funny side. 9

I didn't many moons ago and just tried to pull it off, it pulled the metal pipe out of the T connector and in those days it was impossible to find another. Not listed as a part number. Apply some silicon grease or oil to the T pipe and the new pipe should just slide on no problem. Thanks OJ 10

And, are there any tricks in replacing these hoses without dismantling the carbs?

Got the bike out, checked the tyres, oil etc., turned the fuel on - petrol spraying out one of the fuel supply lines. Luckily I’ve still got a spare set of carbs ( long story) so swapped them over. No problem, had a nice run out in the sunshine.
Upon return, looked at the removed carbs, hoses cracked and split. Can anybody recommend a reputable hose supplier that supplies hoses that withstand modern day fuels? Also, just to confirm the hose size, I.D. 5.5 to 6mm? O.D. 10 - 11.5mm? Thanks 14
