Hi guys------- just by way of a "Heads-up"}------- with this unusually moist weather combined with quick temp. changes we're having recently, be on the look-out for Condensation in/on large areas of Aluminium eg}-- our engines, BUT also possibly within the carb. float bowl as well. .. Those on Mikcarbs the drain plug is a 17mm ring spanner--- found some in mine last week..Starts ok--- erratic pulling away in 1st gear---runs ok mid to top range...All done now including air blast through all jets, passages etc.... The crankcases were "sweating" as was the silencer !! with small blobs of water underneath it.

alan ,you can,t whack a blowout down the passages ,i had 1 this morning after a tikka masala atb paul.

Hi grunda 12... I dont understand ????????????????????????????/

al its a rappore that alan and i have i await his responce atb paul.

--------- BUTTPLUG not working then ?? -------- Nowt wurse than 't sweats, eh lad ??

I've just extrapolated the key words/phrases from my initial posting and I see what you mean PAUL }------ Heads-up ---- unusually moist --- temp. changes --- drain plug ---- erratic ----- air blast --- passages --- sweating --- water underneath --- YES, that all points to a good night out wi'lads in THE TAJ MAHAL Indian Restaurant and Kebab Grill on last Friday night wi' predictable results on 't Saturday morning !!!!!! Aye, t'were good-un.

now I understand

i thought you,d get it alan!!and al,sorry to make light of the carb draining ,while talking carbs my concentric on the hellectra now i,ve tweaked it is superb just thought i,d mention it atb paul.

Paul i wonder if you could keep a note of the jet sizes and carb model you have..

It seems every month or so someone asks about jets for this or that carb upgrade.

Just a thought.... cheers gwilly

---------- and I'd love to know the different spring poundage rates on the various injectors used in the weezal !!
