Not much to report here either. Still planning on squeaking the bike through its safety exam - all the work I'm doing on the bike at the moment therefore is on a kinda wing-and-a-prayer basis. Which isn't a great plan of attack as it turns out. Had to borrow a bunch of parts off Rhonda (starter relay, carb floats and gaskets, er, tank) but it's one step forward and two steps back. So, Plan B.
Pulled the carbs again and will be ordering a set of new o-rings and gaskets. The kit includes some new float needles - the ones I have a the moment look ok but the little spring pin is a bit stuck on some of them (is there any way to free that up? I'd like to keep the originals if possible). Installed an inline fuel filter and have a front brake caliper rebuild kit arriving soon too.
Still borrowing Rhonda's tank, but promised her she'll get it back asap.
