Re: High Revving - air leak - failed gasket
Its strange you talk about this but I hadn't checked but what I have done today is to get a new carb - a 22mm upgrade kit with manifold and filter etc so I want to discount the carb thing once and for all (and it will be an upgrade from 18mm). I will therefore have to make sure everything is tighten...

Re: High Revving - air leak - failed gasket
My suspicion is that the leaking at the exhaust manifold as has been like that for a while and needs a new gasket and a good clean up as a starter for ten.

Re: High Revving - air leak - failed gasket
Hi Paul, I checked that as well. It seems to be moving ok when I turn the throttle (it lifts the slide ok and the spring in the carb seems nice and strong too). Is there a way to lubricate it when its in situ anyway?

Re: Panel Fittings - Series 3
Thanks for the thoughts. I have the rollers and the original clips so even screwed in they flop which makes lining up tricky. However, I did try and clean everything up and regrease but when i turn the handle back the actual roller is kind of stuck and wont turn anymore for it to secure into place. ...
