drewpy

just an exhaust stud. I replaced mine with stainless and aero nuts (reusable lock nut) if you just want ferrus steel, the're pretty common and don't have to be yam.

well done FE great feeling, it gets even better now....

nice one, glad to help

it was on the one i looked at, the casting blocks it off anyways

right had a looksey; the diaphram has two layers between which the plastic sandwich plate is positioned. the groove/notch is some sort of pressure release thng to stop air being trapped and preventing the full travel the O ring at the tip of the piston seals the gas in. the notch is where the vacuum spigot is which is facing up when mounted on the tank hope that helps

He he we should make our own up!!

My mum lost hers about the same time, but Jess was like ours as well, so I can know what its like. She was a rescue dog and still miss her just remember the good times and the little/daft things they did that made you smile!

I'll se ya sunday then, drive safe and don't sniff too much of them stinkwheel exhausts you know what it does to you

MMM, last time I rebuilt the petcock it leaked. Can't remember what I did to fix it though, I got an old one in me bitz box somewhere, give me till tomorrow and i'll dismantle it and check for you Drewps

to the YOC don't forget to close those cemetary gates when you leave

I'd say, carbs, exhaust, prop shaft lines/cables etc lie the bike on the side (everythng else is taken off) and lift the frame off the bike! why not send it for pwder coating. triple-s in bingley is not too far and don't charge much. they blast it and cover all the threads. here

still sunday Isn't it John?

fully charged battery. that's all I can think of except switch on the ignition

xs400 will fit in with no mods

and little Frank

I'd check the the ignition timming starting with the points gap using dwell if you have one. then strobe the bike drewps

is OG on the run again?

A-OOP david good intro! I like the triples especially the grey ones. electrics are the bugbear of the triples. Lots of the xs and rd range parts bins will cross over, just need to do a visual check. I have xs1100 brakes on mine, sounds good, but they are exactly the same as a 400 just the extra disk fitted and larger bore Master cylinder. SR calipers are the same and live on the left hand side while xs400/250 are on the right ( inc carrier) drewps

can't you stick a stick oop the hole protruding into the tank?

I can just picture you now OT...... with your 1 candle power torch

wrap the tank in rags and wedge it in a cement mixer!! that'll get the stuff all over for minimum effort

to me (i've had a few pints at this point) red, blue and brown are connected when the switch is in the "on" mode in park "P" mode, Red and blue are connected which enables the lights to work independantly of ignition. my igntion switch had a fourth wire to the main beam switch, which i soldered in
