Removed tank, cleaned it using the nuts'n bolts trick (anyone explained how to get the scrap out afterwards? I needed to use a neodymium magnet taped to a stick...).
Tank full of water and red rust-gunk.
Removed and cleaned float bowls. Hopefully the new fuel cap will stop this from happening....
Tried to lower the needles one notch, as I suspected it to run a tad bit rich. Test ride- seemed like this made it a bit lean - backing off the throttle a few degrees made it pull stronger under heavy load.
So - set clips back to middle notch.
Reset pilots to std 3 turns out, attached my new â¬12 vaacum gauges and adjusted balance. It was noticably out, ticked over much smoother after adjustment.
As I didn't have my jump leads at hand, I resorted to install battery upside down lying on top of frame to make room for adjustment. Worked a treat
Discovered a couple of new cracks in fairing mounts, so have to deal with them before reassembly.
Phew!!!
