I actually do have a set of spare downpipes - they are stainless steel (certainly dont look it anymore) but have no holes and only marginal surface rust and by this I mean it should scour brush off. Ive been meaning to get them cleaned up and put them up for sale. I also have the stock can as well, again with no faults.I renewed the system to a) make the bike look pretty (naawwww) and b) the money was burning a hole in my pocket...Edit: Btw ade, did you replace the fuel pump in the end? (It's late and im too lazy to read through the 3 pages in the other thread )
good to see ya still at it mate i found a video on me camcorder i made a couple of weeks back to post on here but never got round to it. take a peek and see what you think. her bike is no more so this doesn`t really apply anymore but maybe it could ring a bell with others ! good luck with your spanner man motorcycle fuel pump problem=
used the bike for work today,the flat spot is still there but not as bad......managed to get 13 of the 16 screws out of the float bowls on the new carbs,ive drilled off the heads of the other three and removed all bowls,all looks good and clean,i have now got to drill the remainder of the screws out,iam going to grind them flush with a dremal type grinding wheel and then bore a shallow 2mm pilot hole,refit the bowls and then bore with a 3mm drill using the bowl as a guide, ive made up a wooden jig to hold the carbs level on the pillar drill....i will have to be careful as the drill is going to want to take the easiest route.ie the carb body,this is why iam going to start with a 2mm drill to get it in the middle
