Post wash starting problems

One really annoying problem I had with my 400F was in the rain water ran down the tank and straight into the air filter. A right bugger when you end up on the M1 hard shoulder in the rush hour and are late for work. >:(

Previous to that I tried sealing the plug caps and even putting sections of hosepipe over the leads, in the end a blob of Araldite on each lead where it went into the coils fixed it. We seemed to use Araldite for everything in those days.

Hi Dennis
Which Araldite did you use, there seems to be lot to choose from. Given other things that have been said I think I'll take my tank off and raise the seat when washing Her Majesty, Elen of the ways!

Spitfire:
That's a good question but I think back then there was only one Araldite, there must be something better these days, maybe some frame sealant ? Others may know better.

Cheers

Dennis

I find Sticks like Sh*t better for this application.  It doesn't go completely hard like Araldite and, unlike silicon, bonds to things.

We used Room Temperature Vulcanising sealant (RTV) back in the day.
