    If I didn't know better, I'd swear risky had been around sabotaging your project:lolsign:
    Did you turn the fuel off, just wondering. Seems strange that your new fuel lines should go hard so soon.
    Mate, can only get better from here on in.:thumb_ups:

    grey my bike has caught your fizzer syndrome! one step forward 4 steps back haha, however Found the problem :) i took the carbs off and noticed the vacuum hose for 2 and 3 was off and the vacuum hose for cylinder one was cracked so i reckon the bike didn't have enough vacuum to get fuel.
    so i put them back on while i had the carbs off i examined inside and they wernt dirty :dance2:i decided to gamble on the pilot screws and get them to 2 1/2 turns they were all so out of wack one was 3 1/2 another was 1 3/4 ridiculous!

    derusted the tank and here is where i run into some issues :( i now have a pinhole leak

    bummer about the tank mate, maybe bog the leak with resin?

    but the hoses will help and setting the pilot screws to stock helps a heap too - that's exactly what i did with my zxr... bike may even smoke less now running correct air/fuel mix :thumb_ups:

    Today, I have sorted electrical gremlins and replace the spark plugs. It looks a lot neater under the seat now, nothing visible bar the battery.
    Then I took the little toy out for a test ride and a well deserved coffee or two.
    Next will be to check the exhaust for leaks and paint black. But that will be when it gets a little warmer here.

    Took my three bikes home from the show, into shed and covers over, laid on floor for an hour to straighten back and had a sleep to recover from weekend.

    I must admit, I have been looking for a new tool box lately, till I saw the price!!! I'll be sticking to my 30 year old battered one for now.

    Honestly Grey is this tool chest worth getting, I've been saving up to get one for Chrissy but they are like $400 and I don't wanna pay that.
