Re: Shed work almost there but not quite!

It was a major problem in the end...... it was the pillock that did the installation work!!!! Oh hang on---- thats me! User error basically.

Re: Mikuni - where's mi nipple adjustment - ooh er missus

yes i normally snip it then solder up the end and, with an old brass pulley, leave enough spare to fit a spare nipple on the end. it does also help to have some cable adjustment at the carb end, so maybe use an elbow with screw in adjuster ?

I have a Mikuni copy to nail on.... it has come with an inner throttle cable. Now all my Lambos have had Delorto/Jettex carbs where the adjustable nipple is at the carb end....

Re: Clutch slip only in 3rd/4th

Ok guys so another question or 5 I can get these Surflex corks for about £15 OR a 5 plate assembly (steels/cork/springs) for £38 So is a 5 plate worth it? My engine is bog standard but I do have a shiny expansion and carb to nail on over the winter Not sure if the 5 plate kit has stronger springs....
