madcarper 0 Posted January 3, 2016 well thought I would do a few little jobs on the bike, polish exhaust back up,bit of paintwork, plugs ect, new seals in carbs, the bike has been using a bit more oil than I thought was right for the milage. so pulls off carbs looks into inlet port and the back of intake valves is covered in baked on oil which is a sure sign of valve seal leakage well they probably the origonals so are 22 years old so gonna be a bit crispy now.you can do them with the engine in but its pretty awkward so seing as I already had the rad and exhaust off I thought I might as well just drop the motor out.so while I'm on I think I will pull the head off to do job properly and also give it a mild porting job too.should get seals and gaskets next week, will keep me occupied for a while.

Wonder how he managed it Clickycheers m8, it never crossed my mind to check out the company, first time I have had any bother buying off the net. at least I paid by paypal so should have a chance of them taking my money back of him. suppose I could always pop round and put his windows out.

madcarper 0 Posted April 20, 2016 well got the bike back together a couple of weeks ago and been playing about with the fueling again trying to get it spot on bike is booked into advanced exhausts beginning of may to get a reworked and better flowing link pipe made but my little bit of porting and fueling adjustments seems to have made a bit of difference to acceleration, hits a bit harder now and tries to slide you of the back of the bike so I'm a happy bunny. just need some more new tyres and some warm weather.pic of ported head.
