What Have You Done To Your Tdm Today?

[wicklamulla]

yesserday i drained the fuel tank which contained a lot of fine and coarse rust particles as i had neglected to either properly 'winterise' the bike by either completely emptying the tank or brimming it full of fresh fuel so rust took hold,  the in tank fuel filter that is part of the pet cock has failed so the rust got as far as the main remote fuel filter.  I cut it open ferra look and it was a bit gunged up so a new one is on order. Carbs need to be cleaned as she'll only idle on full choke so they must be gunged up.

 

The original red fuel tank will be filled with vinegar ferra day or 2 and i will try to remove all the rust in a bid to 'save it'. In the mean time i have a silver tank in my spares stash to go on to No.7 which is mint internally and is complete with petcock and fuel level float etc so all i need to do is swap over the filler cap so it matches the ignition key.
