Here is the first of many photos of my bike. I have just fitted a new battery and filter to it, and my next job is to give it a good service as I beleive the float to be sticking in the carb.

I will also be giving the bike a treat to a full cosmetic clean as its been standing for almost 4 years in a garage. :roll:

Many thanks to everyoine that helped and advised me in my other thread.

Never thought of that. The seat on there at the moment, is now like new as I have cleaned it already. I think black would look great.

As it was a sunny day today I thought I would strip down my bike and give it a good clean. Everything was going fine, but a couple of seized bolts/hex heads wouldn't budge, and after using my impact driver, the weld tacks that holds the square nut/thread on broke and came loose, so now only have half of my exhaust off, but no problem, will drill the head off the troubled bold, and replace.

I have bunged up the one end of my exhaust, and did what you guys recommended in my ohjter thread, and filled them up with Causdt soda, and will flush out tomorrow with the hose.

It was really carboned up because when i tried to start the bikes engine with no exhaust on, it fired up right away, as with the blocked exhaust on, it was struggling to tick over. Im still getting petrol coming out of one of the overflow pipes when in reserve. Possibly the float in the carb.?

Heres a quick pic as I left my bike tonight.

Excuse the picture quality, I took it with my phone.

hi micky, yeah with the exhaust, get it hanging verticle from something, put a bung in the bottom end of the pipe put in caustic soda and leave, then, as you said, flush out. the exhaust will prob be full of carbon. and yeah, the petrol problem is your floats sticking/dirty float valve. a good strip,clean, and check they are proper height should do the trick 8)

Nice 1 Alan
