Ahh, that explains it.

Do you think any extra H.P. with a leather gasket?

Steve,
tell me more about the 930 concentric.............

Is this what was fitted to your VH ?

Are the settings unchnaged as you are using it on the VB, at present?

I'm upsetting a lot of horse riders when Betsy belches, just when i don't want her to!

Next time you're in the area, give me a bell and drop in for a coffee; unless things have gone mental at work, I'm normally free for a while.

That looks more like a V8

We will Keith, next time I'm in your part of the world, wont be long , I'm often passing by. I'll bring my box of spare bits as well.

My VH carb was originally 3.5 cutaway 220 main and middle clip,

Fitted my new breather pipe off the barrel, I did wonder what that large threaded hole was for.

1" ,26mm is large enough for a vb, unless it's tuned

I would have thought that the tappet chest cover being so loose it would not need a breather pipe

It has a leather gasket so nothing gets by.
I ran it at first with nothing in the breather hole buy it blew oil mist all over the Mag.

We are trialing the Friday route today for the Annual which will be around 100 miles, that should shake things down a bit

I think The Club should appoint a Scrutineer . . . To be stationed a short walk from Steve's house .

Any nominations

Bob.
