How to replace the emulsion tubes on a Mk1

[nigel2129]

Huge thanks Paul for the original feature which gave me the confidence to tackle the work so over the last few weekends when I have had time I've replace the emulsion tubes and alloy needle jets both from NRP. I've also replaced the inlet rubbers as they were perished and breaking up,

Lastly the the choke cable was stretched so replaced this too as well as cleaning the choke linkage at the carb end as pretty filthy.

I only decided to tackle all of this because I was being informed by fellow riders that it smelt extremely rich sat behind me at lights etc and the choke as it was was pretty useless but apart from that it was running fine so fingers crossed it starts tomorrow as I have a day off to put the battery and fuel tank back on so fingers crossed,

I also took the opportunity to replace the O ring and jubilee clips on the thermostat as had a very small leak,

I'm glad I SORN'd my tdm for the winter to do all of this at leasure so providing it starts fine tomorrow it's straight I for an MOT and away we go

I've been riding my my Honda deauville throughout the winter but can't wait to get the tdm out because as to state the obvious these bikes are completely different to ride and I absolutely love riding the tdm
