- Ordered and replaced the crankcase oil breather pipe which had a pretty nasty split in, covered by duct tape!
- Ordered and replaced the clutch cable which was in desperate need of changing! I managed to track down a second hand part for just under £12 on ebay. The difference it has made is massive, although it was a pig of a job to change! I should really have taken pictures, but it was going dark and most of the job was done by feel. I could pass as a contortionist now, after the positions I had to get in, whilst reaching up behind the dashboard. Still, it was a job well worth doing.
- Ordered a new fuel filter.
- Ordered a fuel pressure regulator in an attempt to get rid of the occasional cough and fart!
- Ordered some 3 and 5mm vacuum hose to rule out any vacuum leaks on and around the intake manifold and fuel injection systems.
- I also need to repair the broken wires that go to the reversing light switch on the gearbox. Thanks to Phil (No Bike) from the Roadrunners bike forum for identifying the mystery part (yellow arrow) when I posted up the picture below... You can also see the creaky auto-adjusting clutch cable in the foreground.
I reckon the bits have cost me just over £100 so far so not too bad and proves it is possible to sort things out on a tight budget... Just takes some bruised knuckles, cut fingers and cursing! lol
