It’s home at last!

Well thought I would pull the carbs and have a go at improving on the fuel delivery, I think it’s safe to say they are needing a good clean! Number 4 float pin is fighting me a bit, these 50 year old float pin pillars scare me. Wouldn’t take much to break. Think I’ll leave to soak and try tomorrow.

Someone needs to invent a pair of broad nosed pliers with a nice slot on one of the jaws to hold against the float pillar on the inside edge - the other jaw needs to have a firing pin so you can push the float hinge pin out.

Nice idea Ted! As long as it supports both pillars at the same time. 👍

Interesting day yesterday removing air box and carbs. Think this air filter is been here long enough. And some strange looking bugs that have probably crawled up through the drain port. And a seal between air chambers that’s never been fitted correctly.😳
DomP:
I found it really awkward to get that seal to stay in place, it seems bit of a bad design but probably worked fine when those seals were nice and new. My Air box was missing quite a few internal bits so with Kens advice I used a 500 filter and did away with the breather parts.
