Hi Guys,
well i made it to my folks house in one piece,the reving got worse so i stopped to take the carbs off for a look and found that the primary inlet rubber had perished. so i bodged it back with pritstick glue (office paper glue i'd bought for my son) and a bit of sticky tape, wedeged the carbs in place with a bit of rubber hose, couldnt fit the air filters so ran it home another 200k reving at 6500rpm with the clutch in. Motorways wern't too bad,it crused quite happily with no throttle at 100kph.
round abouts and trafic lights and the occasional traffic jam were a lesson in clutch and brake control, and my arse pinced the seat a couple of times on wet roundabouts.

anyway. the carb is now off and my mate is going to sonic clean it in work. not quite sure what this entails, but he did the same to his carb and i came out looking brand new inside and out.

What i do need now is a set of inlet rubbers, but the only ones i can find are for the XT600, does any one know if they are the same. or where i could go to get some?
I will be in malaysia for the next 2 weeks and will have to order them over the tinternet so they are ready for me to fit once i get back.

By the way, i remembered my old log in details and i was once known as chiopompom?? blame the wife for that one.

Thanks in advance and ride safe

Paul
