50,000 miles and an MOT pass

#1 Post by spiderwheels » Wed Mar 29, 2017 7:53 pm

The Falco is now nicely run in at over 50,000 miles and sailed through another MOT. Plus it is running better than ever since I did the valves.

So it's definitely my shout.. but not too late as there's an emergency on site so I've got to get the 7am train to Kings Cross tomorrow..

My blackbirds valves need doing as well, so its going in for a full service and also after I'll do the front forks/rear suspension.

I spoke too soon. Now it's sucking in air when the fuel level is low. I have a new filter and new fuel line waiting to go in, I just haven't got around to ordering any new oeitker clips.

Ouch, good luck with the swap.
