Hondaman recommends it in his book IIRC due to it being a common site of oil leaks?

Well, if Hondaman recommends it, then i better start using it on gaskets after 28 years ;D ;D ;D
Didn't the Hondaman book tell you to attach the cable to the clutch arm, before the clutch lever ;D

To be fair it’s been so long since I rebuilt the lump I can’t really remember the reason for some of the things I did!
Got it all sorted now, unsure how it all went out of alignment but it was easy enough to figure out once I popped the housing off.
I’ve got the throttle cables all working smoothly but where the pull cable attaches to the arm on the carb throttle linkage it’s not quite lined up. Doesn’t appear to be any adjustment left and right outside of bending stuff.. will probably be fine but just seems like it will cause wear to the cable
Nurse Julie:
Glad you got the clutch sorted. It looks like you have something in the wrong place, or wrong order on your carbs. The cable should sit exactly in line and as you have mentioned, it will foul and wear through the cable very quickly if left like that.

Looking at the picture it actually looks a little bent, will have a look tomorrow.
Update on my tank. So the thick solid mass inside it was some sort of resin tank sealer, possibly a home brew job. In the low points of the tank it was the best part of an inch thick!
A friend of mine blasted the tank best he could through the filler cap but didn’t have much success so I cut the flats out either side and blasted it again with slightly better results. After this Ive put probably 3 hours manually scraping and sanding the inside of the tank
I think that’s as good as it’s going to get, wish I’d taken a picture of all the stuff that came out of it! Going to tig braise the cut outs back in and fill with phosphoric acid to convert any little bits of rust that may be hiding. If I find my carbs keep blocking up I’ll put a proper tank sealer in it like POR15

Turns out that throttle cable guide bracket thing is soft and can be bent by hand so it’s bent back into the proper position now
Nurse Julie:
Great, another little niggle sorted. Onwards and upwards, you are making great progress.
