9/23/2024 4:15pm Cheers Phil, much appreciated mate. After 17 hours holding her, she took her last breath. I didn't let her go until I saw the life leave her about 10-15 mins later. She'd left us. It was the worst experience I've had. Everything is still rather raw, I was very close to her you see. The old Merc drove like a...

Dont waste your time, buy a new one from Motocarb, no matter how many new bits you put in it, it will still be a 42 year old carb. You will fuck more stuff trying to start it, than you will ever save, new carb and ignition is a must on an old bike, ask me how i knoiw.

I've started cleaning the carb body, removing the corrosion build up with a very small and fine wire brush and buffing pad. Its starting to take shape.

8/25/2024 2:51am You were right mate, these are cast iron.

8/25/2024 2:48am The cylinder jug weld will cost about £50 and vapour blasting about £20. A re-bore is about £50. Now ive got a couple of Mikuni 38 flatslides coming so ill be able to build a complete one. These both came off an RM465 so I'll vapour blast these and along with a service kit and a few new screws etc...

8/25/2024 2:32am You're right Phil, cast iron.

8/18/2024 4:32am The jug will need welding, blasting and the lining stripped and replated to fit a standard piston and rings.

8/18/2024 4:23am As for the Jug, i may just see if the repair cost is worth it first. Ive contacted a specialist so should hear back shortly with the verdict. Other than that damage its in rather good shape.

8/16/2024 4:51am Left half of the crank arrived. Just the new con-rod, piston and last bit of hardware to get now. I may get a fresh jug with this one being damaged. I'll just sell this damaged one on to someone with a TIG welder.

8/14/2024 10:37am Hi Phil, He didnt have a NOS rear set although if you know the size of the 2 spokes he'll probably have them in. I cant remember what size they were. I got stainless on mine. Ive just ordered a bunch of other parts today from him. His address is.. Baard A. Christiansen Cross Centeret Snellingen A/s Verkseier Furulundsvei 11...
