Hi,
What colour is the tank and do you want the whole thing painted ?

Thank you !!

Thank you

Can anyone advise the best way to remove this glass from the metal casing ?
The rubber seal is quite hard after 44 years.
Glass is very thin so easily cracked.

Thank you

Thank you Fluff, You were correct, it is a LH Thread and I did manage to get it off but it was well seized. No hole in the base to stop the spindle turning so just a good grip with pointy nose pliers did the job. Next question............. Does anyone know what shade or colour reference the light bl...

This one has me beat now !

Appreciate your help as ever.

I am running a 1981 KZ1000 CSR with BS34 Carbs. Bike is 100% standard other than a Delkevic 4 into 1 which runs on standard jetting. Standard airbox with standard air filter. Carbs are 100% cleaned and refurbished with all standard jets. Float heights spot on by the manual and fluid heights spot on ...

It depends how "stuck" they are. Remove spark plugs. Pour the MMO into each cylinder (use a syringe or pipe with a funnel) Leave at least 24 hours to soak through. Alternatively you can add it to petrol if bike is running. I bought a Z1300 engine that had not been run for years and had no ...

Marvel Mystery Oil works very very well for releasing piston rings.

I have used it with success on numerous bikes in the past.
