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.

Aye, t'were good-un.

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
