Anyway, I’ve picked off some bits of paint and placed them in a small jar of petrol.
If the paint is solvent based (unlikely these days I would have thought) then the paint should break down. In which case presumably the paint coming off won’t do any real harm to the carbs and maybe it was VNA that caused the issue fitting the filter by maybe spilling a little petrol on the filter.
If the paint doesn’t break down in the petrol then I’ll order a paper HiFlow filter tonight. Want my bike running again.
