So the other half of my 3 pairs of copper exhaust washers came in the mail today! I got a message back sunday from Mr monaro, and it said 'its hard to find good help these days' amen to that brother!!! So Im happy. I chucked one in the bike before the ride Monday. I also filed the inlet port ontop of the motor, I think it was a bit out, it sorted the leak out there. I packed it with some absorbent paper that I packed with grease slightly. Then I shoved it into the inlet port, packed a layer of airtight grease ontop of the paper and filed away probably took about 1mm off it before I could see it was flat again. No idea what happened there. Still have a leak in the spacers between the top of the manifold and the carby, but its ok atm....rideable and may stall out if I let the carby flood.....its kinda a proper pit bike I guess....
