Well got the filter and a couple of plugs. bunged em it and threw the tank back on her so I had something to hold the gas. Wound over and fired up first pop.....
And then noticed a substantial amount of petrol running out of airbox all over the exhaust. I promptly switched bike off, washed it with water so it wouldnt ignite, and shut the garage doors in disgust.
Will remove carb rack again on days off and see wtf is up in there......
Rocking horse dentures Bro.
Word of warning, if this model rusts like its younger brother the 720, be very, very cautious of rust in wiperwell, back of the cab, and the floor. I know Ive owned 4 720s all rotten too.....
Another tip is to find a smaller filter that fits, Us backyard racer types do that to bump oil pressure up on higher kms engines......IE if its a falcon with a Z9 ryco filter use a Z700 off a cortina......
