Yes to all ,probably 6 or 7 times.
With the tank in the bench ,turn tap on to reserve fuel flows freely from the
rear pipe ,the straight flow, nothing flows from the front, angled flow.
If i put my finger over the rear pipe fuel flows freely from the front pipe.
 I think i may turn up a restrictor to resist the rear flow slightly.
to see if it balances out the flow.
I know i shouldn't have to but i don't like to be beaten by things like this.
Just thought ,i may contact the previous owner,he owned it from new.
interested to see if it has always done it.

Bizarre...

You mentioned use of a 'restrictor'.... am amazed the 'rear' pipe carb float valves don't restrict the flow enough to thence allow the forward pipe to feed.

Look forward to hearing the answer, when you fettle it.

Good luck.

(just though, mine might even do the same.... never ridden it down to reserve!)

Interesting problem, never ridden mine down to reserve.
Let us know how you get on.

Have I said this before to you cant remember?Save your £50 and set it up like a k6.Blank off the one that stops flowing and fit a £2.50 splitter.All depends on wether you want to keep it authentic

Hi Bitsa
Yes you have, I just don't like being beaten.
I have emailed the previous owner to see it it has always done it.
Back in the 70s i used to run on reserve all the time,short of money so had to make it last.
Got caught out yesterday re filling up,they must run on reserve i'm sure otherwise what is the point.
Just a thought when was the 2 pipe tap superseded  by the single pipe?? was it a problem!
