Stuck in 15w 40 mineral oil from and recommended by GSF, first time I've changed the oil so not really got anything to base it on.
Would it perhaps be better to go thicker?

Re: Oil dripping onto the right hand side of the exhaust.
Had a look and yes, there is definitely some sort of oil leakage from the fuel pump. Nice one thanks.
Is it a simple bolts off new gaskets job?
Could there be anything else slightly further towards the drivers side that is also leaking oil?

Re: Left hand SOLEX 34 PDSIT Carb running lumpy
Right ok got you.
A little update, I just took the top off of the carb to have a look at things, also removed the retaining bolt for the main jet in the hope of cleaning said jet and the main jet is completely missing?!
Correct me if I'm being stupid, but that should definitely be there right?

Re: Left hand SOLEX 34 PDSIT Carb running lumpy
Oh dear, what a plonker, let me start again, got it completely wrong. So it's actually the left hand SOLEX 34 PDSIT Carb and the screw i'm talking about is just above the nut that tightens the 'centre part' of the carb to the 'throttle valve' part of the carb, all according to the Haynes exploded di...

Oil dripping onto the right hand side of the exhaust.
Hey there, Jim here, new to the forum. After an oil change on a 2.0 CU, I seem to have oil dripping down onto the right hand part of the exhaust. Any idea where this may have started to come from? A lot more smoke coming from the back too, I'm guessing it's this. Didn't leak before the oil change. C...

Left hand SOLEX 34 PDSIT Carb running lumpy
Afternoon all, I'm Jim, new to the forum and new to owning (finally) a T25. I've recently got myself a 1983 last of the air-cooled Devon 2.0 CU. Already spent hours reading over all the great stuff on this forum. Got a problem with the left hand carb. It seems to be running horribly. I initially tra...
