Oil Pump

Received my refurbed oil pump this week, it looks "new" got it fitted and piped up last night. the main feed pipe is Ariete material and the feeds to the carbs are Tygon.

Tank Liner Removal

Today I started with the tank liner removal and preperation for the new liner to go in.

I used an offcut of a wheel tube and a small offcut of aluminium plate to blank off the fuel tap hole.

Then the Caswell liner removal solution went in to disolve the old liner, I guess the solution is MEK or cellulose, it seems to have done the job. Before emptying the chemical out I threw in 20 wood screws to loosen up any stubborn debris, after a good shake a small pinhole appeared and was literally covered with paint so a little bit more of soldering to be done. 

Before that happens Ill rinse out the tank with soapy water to expell the chemical vapours. Thats for tomorrow though.

Plugging Holes

As with all old metal tanks and crap modern petrol therr comes a time whrn the holy tank needs to be repaired.

I stripped off the paint to reveal the holes around the fuel tap area and plugged them with flux core solder.

Next up is to remove the old liner and replace with caswell tank liner.

Chain Roller

 Fitted a new chain roller on a 6mm aluminium plate and fixed to the rear of the rearset mounting bolts.
