Thank you! I worked on it a lot! It's almost done!

The bolts and spokes again are galvanized. The frame, body parts and engine parts sintered and the wheel eloxed.

It was almost completely finished.Little things are back.

The exhaust system has yet to be resolved.

This brass part is needed for cold start only.

Hi Lars,

No, my carbies are stock. So your post is welcome relief. I assumed that the post fell out because:

1. I heard something metallic fall, and
2. There was no post.

So I'm guessing that there was something else that fell, probably a washer from the hex-head/socket head bolts that I've been using. I'll put this bike back together, with the new O rings and see how we go.

BTW, should there be a plug there instead?

So close and yet so far.

Thanks.

Shane

DRhino,
Being ex Army I hate camoflage paint jobs. Having said that, your paint job is so well thought out, eg: SR41A727 on the side covers. And the Rhino on the tank. Also the rugged, stone chipped style of lettering. I got sucked in. You have a great imagination and I think it's great. Congratulations.
Cheers.

Shane,

If there's no tube, a plain countersunk hole is in the body.
I can take later this day some pictures of SR41 carbs w/o bowl.

Cheers,
Lars

Lars,

What you describe is exactly what I've got, so I'm sure I'm good to go to with these. I'll test them with a gravity tank whilst they are off the bike.

Thanks, will keep you informed.

Thanks! It is difficult to translate for me! But managed to untangle! :) I tried to do it well!
