Sounds like dick is on the right track with the breather I recond you should wear a cape or something like a super hero mr darstedly :laugh:

Well it’s sorted,
while certainly a brilliant deduction it wasn’t tank breather it was the………..

Bloody fibre washer under the seat, it would take a while to start leaking past but once it did it was like a mini flood gate. I think the washer has hardened with age and constant compression and when I’ve taken the seat out the whole shebang has not taken up again. So I made a new fibre washer and it’s going gangbusters.

Thanks for all the help gents, as usual a veritable font of information.

Good to hear that you got it sorted Bruce.

It’s normally the way that the most piss ant small thing will cause you troubles. Not that I could of been any help to ya with this one, its been nothing for me to kick the crap out of my bike only to find a dodgy spark plug being the problem. Boulder will remember that night :blush:

I must ask Dick a question though, why does Dick speak in the third person all the time????? :huh: It is a bit of a wanker thing Dick and obviously with your knowledge on bike related things you mustn’t be a wanker.

Been years since I dealt with one either TB, newer design carbs usually have an O’ring interference wise, this being an older VM series has a threaded seat and to stop fuel bypassing the needle it has a fibre washer in the seats seat.

Was hard as a 16 yr old who accidently swallowed his Grandfathers whole bottle of Viagra.

and went off just as fast too…. :dry:

Dick would like to thank you for your question Dan Dick does talk of himself in the third person because that is Dicks thing Dick is a wanker Dan let Dick explain something as a man in the world Dan you are either a wanker or a liar Dicks happy to be a wanker Dicks bike knowledge well lets see

Bruce thanks for sharing the fix Dick is very upset he miss diagnosed because he forgot the carb model Dick offers no excuse

Fair call Dick.

You are so right about either being a wanker or being a liar.

That would make all of us wankers and the others who deny being a wanker are just plain liars.

Shit my response is as twisted as yours, must be too much wanking?????? at least I am not lying.

Think about that – as I am now trying to make sense of it all. :huh: :huh: :huh: :huh: :huh:

As you where Dick, carry on :huh: in the third person of course :dry:

Sorry Bruce for taking your serious thread off topic.
