Oldskool83 Posted December 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2015 The bike tanks had been flushed before it was built and a new petcock was installed before it was ever run...had 2 hours on the bike. Bike only had about a 1 gallon run thru so far. I do not let fuel sit in my tanks when they are being stored. Reeds are in and I am going to put it back together this weekend.

Oldskool83 Posted January 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 This weeks update unveiled why my one carb was leaking also...so the outer right rear threaded bowl hole does not get tight. I can see why the shop doubled up on the gasket on that side. They all but stripped the threads out of the body of the carb. I now have to find either a M4 helicoil or use a 1/8" screw and place a nut to clamp down the bowl in that corner. I also decided to fix my new leaking water pump and clutch cover to find they also stripped screws out. I even took the head off to check everything out because I have had to redo everything I asked them to do. Since the head is off I sent it over to MULL engineering to be milled down. cycle shops will never get bikes of mine again...maybe parts for things I do not have tools to remove or install but they will never get a complete bike again. I'd of had better care taking it to some car mechanic i think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
