Had a small delivery this morning. A set of bike carbs turned up on my doorstep. The inlet port size is the same as the hunter, and look how close they line up on the outer ports..this makes for a fairly nice manifold design.. Just need to grab an inlet/exhaust gasket to get some manifold plates cut up.. Will need to make headers at the same time to match the inlet flange thickness as they share studs. Will also try and find a suitable fuel pump and remove the factory mechanical pump.

Someone put a bid on it, then had it removed today...

The 3 bananas.. Put the spare Makita plastics on the 125

just need the cash.. if I did end up grenading this 1725, id be putting a zetec in it, just makes sense

pretty sweet ae

Don't want to dent it though.. There's a nice little zetec on trademe at the moment. Spent my total funds though..

found this in a search.. jeeeeesus... still on carb talk

Just gained wof status, but was quickly reminded of dad duty of the 3 kids..so unlikely to make this one now.. If I do it'll be in the ute that has more than 2 seatbelts

Tackled some wof issues.. :adjust steering box :headlight to operate :right rear indicator to operate :front brake imbalance 28% mrs picked up a headlight from auckland, an oem lucas fitment. Sorted. pulled the bulb of the indicator out and blew the dust out..sorted. bled the front brakes, everything else seems fine, if not then chuck in new pads. Sorted. there is no adjustment bolt of these steering boxes. So I Barry'd over the 5 different manuals I have for this and saw that the adjustment is via 2 internal Springs pushing on a thrust cap.. so I just chucked a couple of washers under the spring to take up some of the freeplay.. sorted. So this just happened, fresh as.. While at vtnz I heard of 3 different hillman hunter stories.

depends on wof status... yet to sort the brake imbalance and apparently adjust the non adjustable steering box.. might have to get a unobtainable spanner for the nonexistent nut

Small win... working headlights Surprisingly the mrs likes the hunter.. double win

Yeah it 8s, I was planning to Google that today...job done cheers

thats the first time ive actually liked that chrome combo on the rear...decent ride height too

you are correct...it even has the Dulon sticker on the engine bay stating such fact... so thats a factory colour obviously
