Cheers mick

Cheers guys, ill go with the 1.5" & if i end up doin more to the engine, ill just make another 1!!

Wouldn't twin 1 1/2" be too big? Same with 2"?

Hey guys, iv'e had a search around the forum, and i know that for a basically standard f8b, a 1 3/4" exhaust is the size to go. Prob is im going to make a custom ss exhaust and the only sizes at work i can get for free are 1 1/2" or 2". I can get bare bends which either size as well s...

Best way i know to remove spot welds is basically grind your the end of your drill bit flat (say 8 mm)the grind it so it looks like a trident (best way to describe it). It needs a small point in the middle and points on the edge. Then drill in the middle of the spot weld and it will cut around the s...

Hey guys last chance to get any of this stuff. Im moving house in a cpl of wks and need it gone. If no-one wants it going to have to chuck it.

Hey guys, filled the tank up the other night and noticed petrol leaking out of the panel just behind the tail light. Upon further inspection, the metal fuel line which is connected to the bottom of the tray was rusted out. Gonna make a new stainless one at work as got the spare one out of the smashe...

Change your fuel filter as well as cleaning out the carbie. Mine was clogged with a tonne of crap when mine did this. Also might pay to blow out the fuel lines incase theres anymore crap left in them.

Mine was doing the same thing! Ive worked out so far that i had sucked up some dirt into the carbie, so check that you havnt done the same thing. Just take off the top of the carbie and clean out the fuel bowl. Also i had adjusted my points, but as the screw was not the greatest, i couldn't get it a...

Thanks guys ill check it out and let you know. Ps not that great with elec side, where is the earth on the fuel sender? Or is it easy enough to find?

Hey guys, finally got the boy rego'd & on the road, but got a few issues. 1st i filled the tank up to completely full & the gauge only says 1/2. 2nd i've converted from auto to manual & the speedo isn't working properly. It sit on 20kph on idle & also seems to get stuck at higher spe...
