  1. In rarity related news, I extracted the XJ out from under its hidey hole where its been lurking for the last few months. Removed the headlight ring and got a GC dude at work to tig it back together. The ridgey didge spotwelds just weren't up to the task. Due to having to remove the petrol tank I tought it'd be a good idea to check how much fuel was in it. This ahhh proved to be difficult, the bloody cap wouldn't open!!!! Luckily my brother whos a locksmith happened to rock around at that time. Cap lock is stuffed, the little pivot points that operate the lock were broken off. Only one thing for it and had to drill the lock out. So now Im looking for a petrol cap dammit..... Carb removal proved to be a lot easier than I was anticipating, as was replacing them. But in my rush to remove the carb rack, I got a bit overzealous with the fuel line and managed to break the fuelfilter, Meh no biggie.A bracket for the choke had to be changed over. No big issue. And this carb rack had a meke chrome accelerator cable bracket which I retained. Installation of the Air Filter pipes was an utter bastard, but after much colourful langauge, sweat and skinned knuckles Shes basically ready to fire again.(apart from the fuel filter.) Also stole (chur Jason!!) one of the old headlights out of the Flintstone Van and bunged it in. Just thankful it has a stock 7" sealed beam as my other 1980 Yamaha XS850 has a 8" headlight, and they are extremely hard to find. Hopefully I can knock off work early tonight and go and get a filter. Oh and pulled the plugs out and one was petrol fouled (I think due to a carb being buggered) so Ill get another while at the bike shop

  15. I run the old Castrol GTX2 (Now GTX Protec??) in my old J-port (15w40)
  16. lol I never use a stock choke ever, I also never use a stock carb either. All my Vals have been cammed, fitted with either 350 holley 2bbl or in the Chargers case 3 48mm Sidedraft Webers (yeah I know not original for E48), and had headers on them, Apart from the Pacer engine in the stockcar, which used a stock exhaust manifold, which restricts the fuck out of them......
  17. Have been told Prepsol might do the trick......
  18. Yuh did that my Regal, adapted/welded bits onto the cable holder off an old Mikuni datsun 1600 carb and used a generic choke cable.......
  19. Hijack but pics of said AP5 plz??????
  20. Sounds like the fuel gauge sender is toast there buddy.....off to find a new one.......
  21. Do as Brock-lee says,Fuck that would rule/(should do it myself, fully,maybe, mrs likes Vals hmmmm) Gay thing with these pre VG Valiants is the lack of rims available for their wierd PCD stud pattern. Convert to 5x114.3 plz
