I have attached a few photos, there is petrol running out of the carbs onto the engine when the petrol is turned on, there is an oil leak underneath the engine, it looks like there should be a cover over the wires beneath the rear light that is missing and I nearly lost the near side footrest rubber as neither of the rubbers had anything to secure them to the footrests. I put the Allen bolts in.

Peter,
One more photo, as you saw me looking at it yesterday, the scratch on the tank, anything that can be done about this?

Peter, please can you contact me by e-mail or phone xxxxxxxxxxx to discuss the problems I am having with the Honda.

Peter, just to let you know the Honda is now in the hands of a competent engineer who is going through the bike and reporting on its condition, he will then be putting it right. I will be forwarding the bill to you for payment. May I suggest you dont spend the £xxx I sent as a final payment after you dropped the bike off. I note that you have not replied to my previous e-mails and your phone number seems to be out of action.

I have looked at you pics, and I am sure the problem is rust or muck in the petrol tank, this would cause the bad running and carbs overflowing. What looks like an oil leak from the engine is probably only the dirty fuel running down the engine from the carbs. The fix is to remove and clean the carbs, clean the inside of the tank and line it with a sealant.
Annoyed you have taken it elsewhere, I was waiting for some sealer kits to arrive before arranging to sort things out.
