Neal & Rodney had starting problems on the Tassie Tour back in March. I rode Rodney's and it felt new (which it is) and it went well, their ignitions did give problems. Now going back to the carb set ups, the slot in the body for the jet block to locate, mine has the air screw & throttle stop on top and I've fitted them with wire extended wing nuts so they can be tweeked at the L.H. side of the fuel tank. My bother Harvey's is underneath. As I wasn't sure and use to instrumentation I turned up 1/4"BSF banjo bolts and banjo with clear plastic tube and cable tied them to the side of the float bowl, also the front tickler is bloody awkward to get at so made with some springy s/s sheet an "L" bracket inverting it upside down, 1/4" hole so the bowl top pinch screw at one end then a hole to fit over the 1/4" Whit hexagon kinking it up so it clears the tickler and the upside down "L" side is hanging down the bowl, easy to find the bowl with gloved hand and squeeze it. The only thing I worry about is the air passing over the tops of the plastic tubes and wicking out my fuel but as I'm getting 150 plus miles to a tank and Harvey only 120 tops I'm not going to worry about it just yet. But it is nice to see the levels.
