dont forget that there may be nothing really wrong with the regulator. It may simply be a bad connection, broken wire, insecure ground etc

yep I've been missing Pat too, hopes he's OK and is only sick of us lot

youre not copying the 'IMG Code' ....Thats the one to copy and paste in the forum, nearly there though

Thats not gonna happen Rob

Lets place bets on a: regular stoppies b: bent forks c: regular wheel lockups looks good though, is it going to stockport then?

see FAQ's subforum to new members forum for pics Rob

chances are Rob that it's only your battery thats sh4gged, get a new one and then do the tests on the charging voltages

The key would have been the same as the ignition key unless someone changed either of them previously

I have seen the USB turntable in aldi at some time, they'll probably be back http://www.aldi.co.uk/uk/html/offers/special_buys3_19125.htm

Greetings mate and even if you've been around for a while eh Hey you've got some great bikes there

It's a 1973 YB100 https://www.google.co.uk/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&rlz=1T4GGLL_enGB401GB402&q=1973+YB100

Ha greetings Jamie bet I'm older than your pants! ,

It is really unlikely that you will need either a float or a needle, usually the float needle valve may have just jammed sometimes a gentle tap on the carb with the wooden stock of a hammer will free it, but as we have said before the vacuum tap should be stopping the leak anyhow Starter motor?

with hardly any mechanical ability I would think It's best to have the job done for you. It's sounds unusual that both should be leaking and I take it the stancheons are not pitted anywhere in the working area? is there a manual for this bike? it may be in the manual how to do it

they all smoke and smoke a lot more until the engine is warmed up The pump will deliver a metered quantity, this isnt really adjustable...is it an issue there then? :greetings and

You'll most likely have to go to a yamaha dealer dave, If thats not easy for you try phoning one Fowlers of Bristol if you cant find help locally, you'll need your model code I guess, is there a sticker somewhere on the frame...perhaps beneath the seat?...sorry i'm not familiar with the model but others on here have them

Get it in your diaries everyone Friday 13th - Sunday 15th September

you could try sucking on the vacuum line a few times to test the action of the flow / no flow

Yep youre right Dave, if the vacuum tap is working this cannot happen! so where is the leak coming from then?

is it a YL2? https://www.google.c...02&q=yamaha yl2 For pictures see FAQ's in the 'New Members' section

Looking forward to this one NEV, Yeah liking the seat...very nice
