That's a good one. I bet a great book could be written on these stories :-) mechanic wire - etc when the bike was standing or idle - the carb was looking down at an angle - at 20mph - the carb was sucked into a normal position - rode it home that way for 6,000 miles - I have to get a new valve head - the threads are not repairable |
I've had this happen with my Norton and have clamped it back on with some
needle nose vice grips. Worked pretty darn good. I did put a cable tie
thru the vice grips in case they vibrated off.
Warmed up the guzzi and torqued the exhaust nuts on using permatex 2, not
the hi temp kind. I expect it will be on there forever. Used a pipe
wrench.
Yes, my nuts are ugly!! ;)
Thanks Mark and all the rest!!!
