Terrible news

[bigpie]

Job done.

I'll give it a few days to check the new seals aren't leaking, then I'll sent the tool back.

Thanks for the loan.

[mjc506]

Good stuff. Sounded like a typical 5min job (where everything that can, does go wrong!) Glad you got it sorted, make sure it's right before you post it back

Just wondering if anyone has a Carbtune I could borrow, local to the Derby are if possible.
Cheers

[bigpie]

I don't have a carbtune, but I do have a 2 dial vacuum gauge from I used to balance my TBs

[Theflyingscot]

Are they hard to use bigpie

[bigpie]

They might be, I've checked and I'm missing the hose extensions. The tails on them are about 5 cm. So they might not still reach both TBs.

Procedure is pretty simple iirc. Connect one gauge to on TB, then the other to same one, check they read the same, then plug on in to one and on in to other. Plenty of guides around on the web.

[Theflyingscot]

I've been looking on the web about the homemade manometers, thinking of trying one of those. Have you heard of anyone having any success with these?
Also do you know what dia the vacuum hose needs to be?

[TLPower]

Bigpie I think we left the pipes connected to your previous 'bike.

Flyingscot, I have the same setup as bigpie. They use 5mm hoses but you need to use a reducer to control the dial "bounce". These are included in the kit.

You're more than welcome to borrow mine, or pop up and we can sort it one weekend. Check the TPS at the same time.

[Theflyingscot]

Cheers TLP, I'll give you a shout next time a have a weekend off.

[bigpie]

Doh, that sounds about right.

Anyone need loan of the clutch hub holding tool for taking out their clutch basket? I'm happy to put one or two in circulation. Can be passed on as and when required from owner to owner. No need for a deposit. Cost you the post to pass it on when the time comes.

Idea is the tool is posted on to you from the previous user. You need to use it twice. Once to take the basket out to send off for modification. Then a second time to fit the replacement/modified basket when it returns. Hold on to the tool for a while and post it on to the next person making a request here.

Please, please note. If your are taking a basket out to be rebuilt/modified or for something else I highly recommend use of this tool to save you damaging the actual clutch basket. Post cost to send it on would be up to £5 maximum. New baskets are over £200 and take near on a week to arrive. Ouch.
