Inspiring indeed, great little vid. I dont think id be able to say his name after 15 pints though.
Viffer carburettor body in the ultrasonic bath..
Once that was done on all four, with some of these:
And these:
I built up the carbs again:
So now they need putting back on the bike and plumbing in. I'm going to change the thermostat as it runs super cool, and check the valve clearances whilst everything is in bits too.

How cool does yours run?
I thought mine had a probelm getting warm but around this time of year I can't get it over a quarter of the gauge unless it's in stop start traffic or I leave it idling for a long time!

It would barely register on the gauge if moving, then slowly creep up to 1/8 to 1/4 on a normal day. Only on a hot day would it get up to 1/2 on the gauge and the fan cut in. I noticed the top hose got warm practically straight away when running it with the tank and fairing off to drain the carbs - indicating the 'stat is stuck open..How cool does yours run?

I think I might need to check whether mine is operating correctly or not...

I miss having a proper bike working, cheers for the reminder of what I won't have time to do for a year or two Simon.
This'll help then, remember when you came and had a go on the Velo's?!Not sure you started it though...
And the magneto on the Viper packed up, that couple were on the way back from the tip with a trailer and brought the bike back for us. And that wally kid kept following us about
No photos of you with the KSS though which I think was your favourite!

Sounds almost identical to mine!

Got a genuine thermostat to go in, I'll tell you how it behaves after that..I think I might need to check whether mine is operating correctly or not...
