Hoorah...a wedding. Are shotguns supplied or shall I bring my own?

Pipe 2 could be the vacuum control for the fuel tap (I don't know this bike so this is a guess) Pipe 1 sounds like the feed from the tap to the carb. I think that's what eastanglianbiker is saying? So the Vacuum control will go to a nipple on the inlet stub between the carb and the cylinder head. The Tickover screw just adjusts the tickover speed. The mixture screw adjusts the mixture at tickover. Did you service the carb? May be worth just stripping it and giving it a clean before going too far. Cheers, Bob

Well I hope to find out how weird next Tuesday!!

OK....so the group with the 2 good looking women and a bloke that is now walking funny after an involuntary sex change due to an ill considered post on the forum! Should be easy to spot! Cheers, Bob

I've not fitted my Paintgard stuff yet. Got a week off....so that was one of the jobs planned. Steve from Paintgard was very helpfull and offered a lot of advice on how to fit it. Said I could phone him if I ran into any probs. So I'll be interested on how you get on with it. Keep us posted. Cheers, Bob

Come say hi if you see us there, we're normally all huddled together on a table And you'll all have red carnations in your button holes or a folded copy of the financial times under your arms? Bob

Me and BonnieBird went to the marina on Tuesday night. There were probably 50 bikes there. We don't know anyone there....so we just had a drink, a look round the bikes and foxtrotted. Neighbour had mentioned it to us before...but we never got round to going down there. Gonna try to get there as often as work allows this year.....along with trying to get some more miles on the bike. Last year was a joke......neither of us clocked more than a coupla hundred miles in the year!! Maybe if any of you see an Orange Speed Four and a Green and Gold Bonneville turn up together you could give us a shout? Bad luck acemastr.....is it repairable? Cheers Bob

I don't know about an MOT failure. All I can find is that the requirement is for the indicators to flash at a steady speed! Best course would be to ask at a bike MOT testing station. Are the indicators LED or bulb? If they are LED you would probably have to replace the relay or fit a set of Bulb indicators. Good Luck, Bob

Ricco1....do both sides flash at the same speed? If one side flashes faster than the other I would check the above suggestions around poor connections, corroded bulb holders, etc. If both sides flash at the same rate I would probably go with Polecats suggestion that the flasher relay may be a bit sus. Does the flash rate stay the same irrespective of engine speed or does the flashing get faster as the revs go up? Regulator? Check the bulbs to make sure you have the correct wattage for your bike. Does it have the original indicators or have they been replaced with LED ones? If so you may need a special relay for the LED indicators. Just a few ideas for you to consider. Cheers, Bob

Hi guys, just looking to see if anyone on here has a Speed Four and replaced the clutch cable with a Venhill's one and rerouted it to stop it rubbing on the Rad mounts. Any details on how it is rerouted would be appreciated. Cheers, Bob

Dunno if you got the answer you were looking for? I've got the beginnings of this problem on my Speed Four so I bought a kit of paint protector film from a company called PaintGard. Fairly expensive although it does have bits for the fairing, belly pan and headlamp protectors too but the blurb sounded just what I wanted. You can also get "Chicken Wings" from Motrax that stick on the side of the tank which are like self adhesive silicon pads. Hope this late replay helps. Bob
