G'day Fellas.
Thar's better, fired up 2nd kick and both sides equal. Still floods on the right if fuel is left on for 15 minutes but if I remember (yer right) to turn it foo when stopped.
Next job is bubbles in the new tank paint.
Ho Hum.
Cheers

G'day Fellas.
Things that make you go hmmm. Bit the bullet and bought two new alloy float needles. Hang on, nothing like the ones in the new carbs! The new ones have 3 ridges, similar to the old 4 ridge ones. The ones in the carbs (see pic in last post) are triangular just like the ones in a Mk11 concentric. Ok put the new ones in and both carbs flooded in seconds  *pull hair out*. Trimmed off the errant rubber off the original and put them back in. A lot better but one side does flood in 1/2 hour if the fuel is left on  *rant*. Bowl will be removed again (the hard one to get to) and seat lapped again. Really getting over this, so much for new Premiers.
Time to crack a bottle of whisky!
Cheers

I'm back.
Only took 1/4 bottle  *eek*. Took a fair bit of lapping but I think the seat is good now. All back together but will have to wait till Sat arvo to test. Fingers crossed.
Cheers
Now for the rest of the bottle!!!
