Hi everyone
As you may know, I was having problems with this old trike of mine.
The number two pot was running cold intermitently, and there looked to be oil in the water?

Well, I changed over the bank of four carbs, I then balanced them (first time I've ever do that; I am so proud o' mi sell :D ) I then dropped the water, washed/flushed the whole system; I think the oil was old oil from when the other guys did the cylinder head! Coo it;s not there now!

So now my trike is running on all four pots, she don't smell rich and it looks like I cured the oil problem (not bad for a woodcarver, who knows nowt about bikes an' engines ;) )

All I got to do now is widen this bloody door so I can get in the house :rolleyes:

Jobs a good 'n'
