Re: Brickwerks carb refurb kit

If i remember, when i did mine the answer was to put two washers on the float jet (the small fibre washers) ie use the old one and the new one. I think mine had a steel washer as the original. I also put a very very thin layer of gasket sealant when fitting the top half of the carb to the bottom. It...

fitted some roof bars

After much deliberation / worry i've just fitted some roof bars to my westy pop top to carry our surfboards. No problems encountered really, just measure...check....measure....check then measure and check again. Doesn't look to bad i think! total cost was about £100 Measure. http://www.muchos.co.uk/...

Re: Croyde camping suggestions please........

We always stay at Cherry Tree Farm campsite.

Ideal location between the beach and the village centre.

No electric hook up,but good toilet/shower blocks.

Highly recommended.

Re: Sticky clutch???

Mine's going in to a garage on Wed(Cardiff Aircooled). He says £175 plus cost of clutch ( £80) plus VAT.

Doesn't sound too bad . I'd try myself but just don't have time.

Just got to transport it there 12 miles! Hmmmmm.

Re: gear change probs/clutch

When was it last changed?

I dont think its ever been changed.....its only done 75000 miles .

Clutch hasnt been slipping and always felt good, but in the last few weeks its been getting more difficult changing, especially to a lower gear.
today it wont change down at all!

Thanks for your replies.
