Tango Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 After our little walk down to the boulangerie to get bread and have a coffee, I got Mandy's Bonneville out of the garage and put some tubing onto the float bowl drains to check the float heights. Seemed that the fuel level was too high in both. Adjusting them was a PITA! Trying to make fine adjustments by bending a metal tab is prehistoric! The only way to bend the tabs was to remove the floats and float valves, bend the tab, put it all back together and check. Rinse and repeat multiple times until the levels look vaguely right. It wasn't helped by the high winds and rain showers here today. Anyway, I think I'll try to run the bike, once all the fuel spilt over the engine has evaporated! Maybe tomorrow, if the weather is OK. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boboneleg Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 Working on carbs can be a proper ball ache but satisfying once you get it done. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously I didn't do it that well because the POS Triumph and BSA still didn't start. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a strange one hes got a mate with a bit of cash by the sounds of it who owns a few CRF250L's amongst other things, Gary was having a few electrical issues with the serow so his mate said give me the serow to restore and you can use one of the CRF's. Gary doesn't know if he will be getting the serow back once restored or keeping the CRF the CRF is registered in his name he said it don't matter to him which way it goes because it's not cost him a penny 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot easier to ride off road than a GN400 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
