Success!!!!!
« on: July 27, 2008, 08:55:03 PM »
After much aggravation and a carb rebuild (which I found out was a complete waste of 70 bux). I realized 2 of my brass overflow tubes had cracks in them which was causing gas to come out the drain tubes. I did the shink tube trick and am a happy man now no more leaking

Haven't got to ride the old 550k in a while. It's been quite alot of headache gettin this bike up to par but when it's the 750k's turn I'll have a little more patients with it. ROCK ON! RIDE ON!

Not sure what the "shink" trick is but these old machines sure keep us amused, one day I actually hope to ride mine! ;D

I think the thing I most like about motorcycling is the speed at which my brain must process information at to avoid the numb skulls who are eating pies, playing the ukulele, applying make-up etc in the comfort of their airconditioned armchairs as they make random attempts to kill me!!!!!!!

Tip from the carb FAQ, little ways down the page, or search for:
Carbs still dripping? Could be fractured tube!

None of that frustration matters after you take her out and twist the throttle wide open. ;D
Congrats on your success, NOW GO RIDE!

There are old bikers and there are bold bikers but there are very few old, bold bikers.

Not doing what you can to make your bike ride-able during the best riding months of the year kind of defeats the purpose of owning it in the first place.
