Re: Weber Carb - Yes or No?

There are entire sections of this website devoted to the Weber and it does sometimes play nice but Ducati ditched it for the Mikuni on the later bikes and that should be enough to convince you. Dont give to much thought to the foam pods either, they are only stopping crap getting sucked in and the w...

Re: Clutch Preasure Plate Repair

Andy, If you could be so kind, aks the old man what material he used for brazing the pressure plate. There are a couple of options there and I'm curious -as always- which one he did use. Frank Hi Frank, I saw him yesterday and he used Sifbronze 101 because he had some in stock but Sifbronze No1 wou...

Re: Clutch Preasure Plate Repair

Just thought, when I pull it apart again I can take some pics of how it's faired :) 2nd Thought, the Centre basket is keyed to the same shaft that the centre pin locates in and this is geared to the rear wheel so when the clutch is engaged this whole assembly is stationary in a rotational sense but ...

Re: Clutch Preasure Plate Repair

Thanks for the info, I have emailed Rudy and he thinks he may have one :D My pin hasn't passed right through the plate but there is about 1mm of metal missing where the two have been rubbing so it would have worn through eventually... It's certainly a question why the welds failed, given the amount ...

Clutch Preasure Plate Repair

Hi folks, My clutch started making nasty screech noises when it was pulled. It wasn't all the time, seemed to be worse when the engine got warmed up but very inconsistent and more likely to happen with light pressure on the lever... I had recently changed the O Ring seal on the slave piston and ever...

Re: Replace your old brake lines!

A pal of mine has a 1988 Jeep Wrangler which looked like it had a full brake line change - A quick look under the bonnet showed nice copper brake lines and the rubber brake lines that were easy to see (and get to) looked new. 6 months after he bought it one of the front discs started to randomly ove...

ULEZ - Good News

Hi all, this post will be of interest to anyone living or riding through a low emission zone. In my case it's the London (UK) Ultra Low Emission Zone. As my Paso was made in 1988 it never had any emissions data on the V5 Log Book and this meant it was automatically liable for the ULEZ charge if I en...

Re: Gone to the FCR Side

Big Thank You for the tip on the needles :) Work and weather had stopped play for a bit but I got round to stripping the carbs for cleaning tonight and the needles they came with were OBFHM, quite a bit richer than EMT. On the prefix bit of the needle code what I have found online seems to say the F...

Re: Centre stand

Hi Todd, I think all centre stands end up getting a bit out of shape as there can be quite a lot of side leverage put on them and it will always be trying to twist them in the same direction... Check all the weld points before and after you have a go at bending it as I have seen them start to crack ...

Re: Fuel Pumps

Hi :) The fuel tank and pump are parts I picked up to get the bike back on the road after a long period gathering dust. The reason she came off the road was that the original fuel tank started leaking from the bottom seams :( The electric pump works fine and I had also fitted an adjustable regulator...

Re: Gone to the FCR Side

Hi Gert,

I had already bought a second hand pair of manifolds from a 750SS intending to fit a pair of Mikuni. They are stamped 7 on the flange so should be the correct ones :)

Will send Chris a message and see what he suggests.

Thanks, Andy

Gone to the FCR Side

I tried, I really did and in warm or even cold but dry weather my Weber was great thanks to all the advice given on here. I didn't get to altering the pump cam as there was always a problem that would not go away in our UK climate - Freezing. Motor starts stuttering and then you have to pull over an...

Fuel Pumps

I am just about to get the bike back on the road again after a long storage and as a part of the restoration I have been using knowlage gained from here. I changed to the Mikuni fuel pump and I wish I had known about it 5 years ago however anyone buying second hand as I did should be aware that what...
