Whilst I was doing some work on my Huntmaster recently I pushed Agnes outside undercover for a while. She did look a little lost and lonely so decided to give her a little spin to see if she was OK. We did provide some entertainment as she back fired and then ran realy well but in a cloud of smoke initially. All from its first kick.

I've just dragged my poor VH out of cold storage, shes been very neglected over the last few years.
Unfortunately the tank has sprung a leak under one of the tank knee rubbers, it dripped on to the air filter rubber and put a hole straight through it :oops:

Yes, I had to petseal my tank last year as I had a few pinholes develop and caused a similar problem with the air cleaner rubber expanding and not fitting correctly. Hope you find a good replacement made of a better composition.
