I inherited an unfinished project, an 1983 Seca XJ900 with a 1982 Seca 650 Turbo motor. This has been a fun project but I've run into one small problem I...
The Turbo fuel lines connect in this order: Petcock Out -> Fuel Pump In Fuel Pump Out -> Check Valve Top In (T) Check Valve Top Out (T) -> FPR In FPR Out ->...
An Eclat, eh? I understand the work in front of you. I helped a friend restore a '73 Europa Special (the one with the Lotus engine rather than the Renault...
Inc bulbs are not very energy efficient. Other countries are way ahead when it comes to conserving energy. I am always amazed at how much energy (light and...
I see those behaviors as well. No excuse for that. I don't think a wholesale ban is the answer. That is far too "nanny-state". If you mean that incandescent is...
Just to clarify, I don't think that the ban on Incandescent bulbs has actually been enacted in Parliament. But the Minister responsible has floated the idea...
National news had a thing on last night, a few are interested in enacting such a ban here in the USA. They said that if every house in America replaced a...

Thanks for the info, I was kind of figuring that was how it went but just wasn't too sure. Since I've been unable to get a Seca Turbo petcock, I'm wondering...
Hello As a 50th birthday present (and mid life crisis cure) for myself I fancied a cheap mid range bike (to use just for fun) so I bought a 1982 XJ550. MOT...
I used a spray paint product available in USA called "Cast Blast" to color the rust on the shocks until I found replacements. I stripped the black paint off...
I put in a new clutch last year, and for some reason when I go to rev the bike it takes a while for the bike to catch up with the rpm's. Does anyone have any...
See how tight the Clutch Cable is ... if its Guitar String tight ... give it a little slack. Don't let the Revs burn-up your New Clutches ... let's figure-out...

That's OK Karl. I had a bit of a read of his stuff. (The first link is broken, but the later one is OK.) He has a genuine point, its just that it has...
