You're ok Steve, you have Big Kev as a mattress.

Even if we did know, do you think we would admit it? I am sure then is someone out there that thinks rim tape is a modification and cool that will let you know ttaskie

Hell yehhhhhh

New tent and thick sleeping bag ordered. I threw the old tent away while I was there last year.

Big Kev and Foamy.

We had snow here!

Moved to the workshop section.

Hi and welcome to the forum. Stick around and you may be interested in this

It is not a big job. You normally only need one cross head screwdriver and an hour. You undo the 2 jubilee clips that hold the carb onto the engine and airbox (one each side of the carb. Unscrew the top cap of the carb. Take the carb off the bike, turn upside down and remove the 4 screws. Take the bowel off and the floats and valve are exposed. Push the pin out that holds the float in, take out the floats and you will see the valve, pull out and clean it and the brass fitting it sits in. Put the clean valve back in and refit the floats and pin, check the float height and then do all the rest in reverse order to refit the carb. A good DIY job to start with.

Hmmm, where's that ban button?

Is it coming form one of the overflow pipes? If so then you have probably got some grit in your float valve. Inside the carb there will be a valve that stops the flow of fuel when the floats reach a certain height. Floats can leak and cause the same effect and also this can happen when the float level is incorrectly set. Normally it is just some grit causing the valve to not seat properly. You need to take the carb off, take the bottom bowel off, take the floats out and clean the valve and any sediment i the bowel. When you put it back together reset the float height.

So does that mean the dreaded A13? I used to do CBT training in Barking and a brother still lives near Southend so I still have links there.

Didn't click the links. What's a tri vlog? Sounds like a race from Star Trek.

See if this guy has one on the bike he is breaking LINKY

If you can't find anyone but are coming up the M5 or M1 you could always meet a few of us at Nottingham. With a bit of luck there will be at least 4 of us and you can ride up the last 100 miles with us. We may have to take a non motorway route but at least you can look forward to some company and ride in together. Possible meet with foamy too? Looks like we got us a convoy.

This could go terribly wrong for our American cousins. There are still some good import buys and I have thought the same about the seats to be honest. When I have been there I have noticed a lot of things served with cheese and pickles. Probably the sun splitting the seats and the old foam goes crusty when exposed to the sun.

Good on you Grouchy.

We are waiting for the next question now

Can I throw up a few ideas on some T shirt text (you know this is going to get silly) 5th Annual YOC rally 2014 YOC rally - Squires or bust We know who ate the sausage

I didn't say that. Beware of big brother. Remember to turn off your PC cam when posting in your underpants.

We can? Cola works but is sticky so you will need to get the sugar out afterwards.

Worst out with sand, old bolts or ball bearings (pick your choice) White vinegar - 5ltrs from Fleabay. The link is for 2x5ltrs LINKY You still have to shake it though. My youngest brother has epilepsy so I could hand the tank to him.
