Hi Folks.
Am back out and gonna be pottering around on Vincent for the next few hours or so, Lynne will be pottering around the garden and ready for when I need some help.
We are both really missing riding this year, but I am just not well enough, but there is still time.
It's Time to start to replace all the fuel lines
Battery is dead, so got the charger out
we had to move Vincent by hand.jpg
Off comes the seat and petrol tank.jpg
Tank is nearly full of petrol ! - why when ever you need to remove the tank is that the case
Nothing like a Jap bike for neatness
Out comes the fuel pump
New pipe ready to be fitted
Petrol tank these 2 pipes replaced, as like the rest of the pipes they leaked!
It's like xmas for Vincent - Loads of goodies in the bag
And the old ones are consigned to the rubbish bag.jpg
Even nice new clips
and on goes the first one. It would have been cheaper if I just brought a length of tube and cut to length, but you never quiet get the tight curves just right
That's both new pipes installed
It took ages to find this pipe new, but I eventually found one in France!
Time to pull out the fuel filter
So it can have the fuel pipes replaced
Heres another leak I did not know about !! Luckily the split was at the top!!
Now teh fiddly job of routing the pipe into its new home
Some 3 hours later and 99% of the fuel pipes have been replaced with new ones - and I cannot see a leak anywhere :) :)
