Hmmm might do a bit more reading.

thanks for the insights

Thanks guys.

There is a bit of info about on forums I have googled. I will look into 5 micron filters. 

I only plan to process 20 -40 litres at a time. I figure if i keep the oil ratio below 30% it will be ok all year round.

I read a story about a guy in the uk who had a trade discount and was buying 20l drums of vege oil and dumping it into his truck at tesco in the carpark.

People thought he was mad but he was getting it for 40p a litre.

So I have access to 40L a week of used canola oil (deep frier) for free

From what I have read, filter it to 5 microns then warming it to allow water to evap  creates a passable partial substitute for deez

I was thinking of taking it a step further and decanting it and letting it settle further allowing any remaining solids to sink to the bottom 

Maybe if I was to run at 70% deez, 30% chip oil I could save some $$

I have a 1kz toyota surf

What do you folks think of this? 

Dad had one of these. It was great!

Good luck for the search!

Sounds about right thanks

$20 a week?

So my non electri c segmented garage door jumped cable jumped off its roller. 

I Foolishly undid the locking grubs on the pulleys to re allign the cables and need to retension the torsion screws.

Any of you clever buggers want to earn a box/ some $$ and come help me out ?

Even just lend me some advice?

Cheers

Thanks guys

Idles. Is a bit smokey but runs nice.

I hit it with butane, sprayed more carbcleaner compressed air, then got a strand of brake cable wire thru it.

Started 1st kick

It runs!!

See if this guy has something, basically aliexpress in Auckland he's weeded out the garbage too does returns if needed.

New carb probably $30 5 minutes to fit spend the time saved watching kids ride bike while having a beer.

As I am on the shit end of the shit to mediocre mechanic scale, I am trying to learn to fix things. Also my son who has less patience than me is wanting to learn some spanner skills so we are working on it together,  we will contact him if I cannot beat this issue. We know the bike runs, but only with choke on so its good for him to learn.

Bring it here and stick it in my ultrasonic cleaner.

I will if I cant get it out tomorrow arvo. I was considering the butane torch but thought it might be silly.

24hr in petrol/crab cleaner mix and no joy with wire or compressed air.

Thanks Moray

So one of my friends has loaned my son a 50cc honda dirtbike.

3 speed semi auto

"It only runs when the choke is on" 

So I tried to start it. 

No fuel getting to fuel filter.

I pulled the petcock and it was full of green slime.

I gave the carb a good clean but the small jet is blocked solid. I couldn't get a single strand of brake cable wire thru it.

Any ideas on clearing the jet?

Thanks in advance 

The second option.

I think I will offer $500 then see where we go from there. He has said its'surplus to requirements' 

The one Im lookin to get was last reg in 2016.

Will look into compliance etc

I might have to get this thing and make it go

Would a CL175 be allowed??

Where are u gee ?

She is a beauty 

Thats what I was hopin.

It maybe on hold. Will check it out after xmas

Could be fun fun fun

71 I think. Still havent seen it

Lol

But Im not sure about shocks etc

Thanks for a great read

Reason I ask is 5km commute to new jerb

A carb rebuild and tyres will be the only majors except for re registration. 

He said make him an offer. I dont want to lowball him as he is a mate

You know the situation

Hi team

Whats a CL175 worth?

Runs if fuel put in carb apparently

Reg is dead but has black plates

Will need new tyres etc

Lives in a garage

No pics yet but its one of these...
