All 10- New owner - a couple of kinks. Thanks for the advice once again. Second hand petcock available for $70. Pretty rich for a roll of the dice I say. NRP will send it for $45 but I'll be waiting a couple weeks at best. Australia....far away from…
- New owner - a couple of kinks. Update - I've contracted man-flu and cracked the shits. Yesterday I put the tank on and she idled at 4000rpm and refused to come down. Gave me every sign of a vacuum leak. This morning it was idling rough but happily…
- New owner - a couple of kinks. Oh nice, thanks guys. Going by the noise I'd say this is the issue I have. I've got to do something similar to my CB750 but this one will be a lot easier to get to. Thanks very much for the suggestion. I daresay the…
- New owner - a couple of kinks. It's ALIVE!!!! I couldn't resist so I put a bit of fuel through it. It took a while but eventually started. PRO's It runs!! Yay! I was so worried about a busted piston. No smoke from the exhaust (heaps from the manifold…
- New owner - a couple of kinks. Thanks guys I've got it all hooked up and will try starting it soon. I've just resealed the tank and one of my favourite thongs (flip-flop). 5 days until I can fill it so I'll be tinkering using a bottle. JZH - mate,…

- New owner - a couple of kinks. Thanks Terry - I just ordered some things... Thanks mcrw, for the vote of confidence - unfortunately I've invested so much time into this particular carb set it's become a bit of a mission to see if I can get them…
- New owner - a couple of kinks. Thank you, gentlemen. I'll be sure to check out those links. [Sigh]. I didn't take a photo of the worst carb bowl but here is a pic of one of the better ones. Maybe he used the bike to clear drains or something. The…
- New owner - a couple of kinks. Hello fello VFRers, I'm new to VFR but not to Honda or the biking world. A fried looking at bikes led me to see an advert for the VFR and I was instantly in love. A couple days later I drove 9 hours to pick her up.…
