drewpy

mine was white when i had float level issues. I've also had worn valve stem seals and its the smell gives it away!

sounds like you all had a good weekend guys. good one

Garlic bread, GARLIC BREAD! welcome to the forum, i work at Bolton school, unfortunatly up-yours lives there too. get yourself over to Northwich tomorrow, its the thundersprint and FREEE!

white spirit is the cheapest way

white is usually over rich mix, could be float in carb/ needle issue. need to get it done asap as it'll bore wash the oil in the cyl and then you will need a rebore

G string I hope

woof

words fail me, its like a scab on yer leg you shouldn't pick, but you do!!

need to look at this Pat

usually theres a tiny circlip deep inside the body. Its been a while since i did my carbs and the laetr carbs are less easy to work on!

silly billy!

I had a new tank but got it professionally stripped of rust etc here I then did the coating myself, its easy enough and you can do a better job.

I would look at your battery. if its even the slightest way down, it will affect the ignition. the electronic ignitions need a healthy (ie good amps) battery and the battery is also used for charging! (sounds odd but true)

try clearing the tiny hole within the master cylinder its a return orifice for the brake fluid

stunning looking bike, clicky pikkie to sitey

used that stuff on me tracker tank, stinks a bit (still does) but sorted!

Hairy specs!

have fun John and ride safe. There was always a lots of scots in Blackpool, especialy when it was their holiday weeks. lets see you on the big one

I've looked at the chain link too and just go for heavy duty standard chain and keep it oiled. for £22 I'm not going to bother with anythiing else!

why are you posting this in the bar? workshop would be more appropriate and did you do a search on bleeding brakes? we have another member having the same issues (abet a different bike) but its all relevant!

did you earth out the light blue wire near the neutral switch? if the lamp didn't light its either a live supply problem or, as said, the bulb has gone and needs replacing!

short intro would be nice as a first post

I'd start collecting parts for the bike when your on your travels. I personally wouldn't try and start the bike until at least I had the head off to check for rust. With the added ingredient of the turbo! those need a lot of tlc in my opinion and it might be worth checking the bearings (and pricing up for a refurb) good find though foams, the yam version of Top Gun

sounds like it needs a tune up! and maybe a new battery
