I still haven't finished the carbs - I got one rebuilt but the other still needs to be done!

The MoT was passed today, all it needed was a new track rod end. Result!

[Howard81]

Dug out the sonic cleaner today which resulted in the second HS6 going from this:



Into this:



And ending up like this:





If only I could remember where I put the pesky rebuild kit..

So sonic cleaners are a waste of time?

They are pretty neat and must save quite a bit of time.

They are fantastic. Mines twice as big as this one on here, and i still wish it was much bigger.

[Howard81]

Yep, probably one of the most useful things I've bought!

[SprintMWU773V]

I think I might invest i one in that case.

I dropped off my set of "78-dated" Sprint wheels at Spit and Polish in Kent last week. Very excited

[grifterkid]

How is this most glorious (and lucky!) of Sprints sir...?! Have you had a good Summer with it...?!

Do let us know how things are with the old bruiser...

[Howard81]

I'm afraid to say she's thrown a strop again after bursting the seals on the clutch slave cylinder over Tower Bridge! I can't for the life of me get the system fully bled properly so is off to Mr Tilson to work his magic!

I do have a lot of updates and photos to catch up on, so stay tuned..
