August 26, 200521 yr Author Hope you enjoy your drilling Mark...how about posting some pics of what you do???? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Will do Stu, off for some Beer tonight so best not make a start when I get in
August 26, 200521 yr Cheers Kinell, I'll get me bits out this weekend for a session then <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Ewwwww!
August 30, 200520 yr Is that it? Are you supposed to drill down now and plug the original hole or summat?
August 30, 200520 yr Author Try again ! CARB DRILL MOD PIC 2 Pretty easy really just got to try in out this weekend now Edited August 30, 200520 yr by Marky G
August 30, 200520 yr Lovely - Now how much do you want for that TY80 kickstart I can see lying there?
August 31, 200520 yr The kickstart is 10 quid, and it comes free with a knackered Mikuni carb! (only kidding Marky) Thanks for your excellent pics ..please let us know how it performs afterwards..I'd like to try it myself, and might well do that, just that I think I'm not steady enough with the drill...we'll see,,or maybe I'll still splash out on the Dellorto??
August 31, 200520 yr Author Lovely - Now how much do you want for that TY80 kickstart I can see lying there? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Good eye there BS ! it's for my lads TY80 that I've still to finish off building up for him. Go for it Stu, you have only got to drill the little brass ball that blocks the hole and do that small drilling at the end of the shaft. All it's doing is extending the height of which the fuel starts to overflow...it's the same mod that BVM etc will charge you
September 1, 200520 yr mmm..certainly would be good to check out the 06...will let you know if/when I get brave enough to get the drill out!
September 1, 200520 yr Hey Lads - The old Outlaw has been doing this mod for his customers for quite a few years now FREE !! I got all the info from John Lampkin so maybe check with him - the later model bikes come with the new spot to drill already casted but not drilled -(Strange) However this does make it a bit easier to drill in the correct place

The part about drilling through the brass ball is not necessary. You can tell if you have the new type because the spot is obvious.

September 1, 200520 yr Don't forget to measure how far you need to drill and wrap a piece of tape around the drill bit to stop it from going too far.
