Carbs aren’t scary at all! More just nuts and bolts :grin:

That’s great news. One thing I like about doing my own work, is that apart from saving money, you know for sure what work has been done on the bike and that’s it’s done well. (Or if you made compromises on the job are aware of that too.)

Yep, agreed totally! Especially on a 30yr old bike!

Also…it teaches you not to panic when you break down…you understand what bits do what…and can generally work out the issue.

Final drive oil replaced… That took about a minute and a half…

Want to fiddle but nothing seems worth starting right now… :roll_eyes:

Quick one…

I have (have always had on my ownership) fast blink rate on NON LED indicators…

What can/do I need to check to slow it down? Is it a “flasher relay” and, if it is…what do I need to look at, check, test etc?

Is that an electronic flasher relay or an old fashion one?
An electronic one will solve the tempo issue. Check to get the correct replacement one, some are wired differently.

You need more resistance. I think.

Thanks both…

if either of you feel bored feel free to break this whole process down in to single syllables. :innocent:

How will i know if it is a modern or old relay?
What do I need tobe ordering if I get a new electronic one - are they rated somehow?
Check what - to get the correct replacement?

Thank you!!

Valve clearances tomorrow…please have your phones nearby :innocent:

I am a new convert to the power of heat …but now “2 for 2”; it’s really saved a situation!

Only done the front cylinder, before needing gin…intake clearances tight…so adjustment made …

Will see what the rear cylinder brings tomorrow …
