| Rebuild - Hardest job yet? - BUT SHE LIVES ! Two soddin hours last night to complete what should of been a simple job to do with finally rebuilding my tank (amongst other things).... On reflection its probably the most frustrating thing yet in the two months I been working on the bike: Any idea what it is yet, kids??? (Best Rolf Harris voice opional)..... Carb overhaul ?......Nah Easy Balancing Carbs ? .... Not too bad Tank relining ? ..... Just follow the instructions Nope - Replacing the damn tank cap outer seal ring !!! No wonder my last one had broken in situ; it was so tight putting the new one on that I didnt actually fit it correctly and left it underneath the very outer most ring, where it should be. I can only imagine the designer was in a sadistic mood the day he designed this beauty. In addition to keeping the ring in place (with four hands) the dump tube has to be fitted to the underside of the cap body (another two hands) and then it has to all be fitted without disturbing the darn ring  After all that I didnt align the cap up correctly with the tank either! But that can whistle. I'll leave it as a reminder of 'artistic engineering'. Frank.  |
