Hi Folks
After 8 years i have got my f/b running again it went off the road due to white van man doing a Uturn infront of me and although it only suffered light damage my knee didn't .I was not happy with the repairs done by the ins company and stripped down to repair but never got round to it till now. New mikuni /belt drive /close ratio gearbox .the lot!
put petrol in the new 8yrs ago tank started no problem sorted timing e.t.c had to leave for a week started again and it ran like a pig the carb was full of resin there must have been a spot of fuel left in tank when it was put away ! i cleaned carb removed tank put on my lawnmower tank and got it running again have found that i need to slip clutch on pulling away i think this is caused by the gearing ie. belt drive/close ratio gearbox/21t gear sprocket.Would dropping down to the 19t sprocket make a big differance?
