    Thinking and knowing are two different things, any wear soon becomes
    apparent when you strip the carb.

    Well, there's no apparent wear on the needles, not sure how you check
    the jets. This, coupled with the fact that the PO of the bike got
    reasonable mpg out of it before it 'stood for a while' makes me think it
    wasn't wear.

    As do I, but on a cold windswept commute through some myopic twat
    driving by some half asleep commuters it fair stirred my soul and
    prompted some ill-tempered riding from myself.

    Still, it wakes 'em up a bit on an otherwise boring A road.

    Paul.

    Well *done*, sir.

    BTW I did thank you for that gasket, didn't I?

    Did the KLR have a plastic tank?

    Aha, the Nordwest syndrome.

    I fitted a nice glass and metal retro in line fuel filter to the
    Forgotten Error once I had done the tank with Por15. So far, so good.

    Blocked up emulsion tubes. Easily removed and cleaned. :)
