GL1500 carb balancing.

Or, you could borrow an additional 4 wotsit carb balancing thingy from
someone who lives not a million miles away down the road from you and
who just happens to have one and don't use two of it's bits.

 

I wasn't suggesting to connect them *all* together, I was suggesting
connecting carb 1 to columns 1 and 2, and carb 2 to columns 3 and 4.
I'll spare you the ASCII art The depression in each carb would
therefore be supporting double the normal number of inches of Hg. I think.

I think that would make the engine run very lean. I have no idea whether
this would be an issue or not for your purposes.

You misunderstand, Mr TOG. The aforementioned garment belongs to Mr R.
Obbo, and as I'm supposed to be delivering it to him, I sensed an
opportunity to kill two birds with one stone, as it were.

This in no way is an attempt to pooh-pooh your own offer, which I was
in the middle of replying to when you responded to my reply to Robbo.

Should the Kentish Klown be unavailable, I would be delighted to
borrow your gauges, especially having seen the price of a new set.

Especially if I consider I might need a six-set for the CBX.

ObCBX - set of engine bars just gone on Ebay - £335! Glad the seller
threw a freshly chromed set in when I bought mine.[/QUOTE]


Well I *was* going to lend them to you but your reference to the Kentish
Klown part scuppered that idea!
As for the KW Jumper chuck it or donate it to a homeless tramp or somesuch,
after all there are plenty on the Isle of Dogs in ESSEX

I'm sure Mr Murrays equipment is in fine working order so perhaps his would
be the preferred choice as he effectively lives in Surrey, much more upper
class than an island of canines

Nice flounce.

I'm sorry, I genuinely thought you *were* from Kent.

Anyway, what evening's good for you?

 

I *am* from Kent you numpty.....It was the Klown description that irked me.

Evenin?
Is there anything wrong with Saturday then?
I can get the gauges back off my mate by then.

 

Gettoff, you big lummox. If I wanted to offend, it would have been
obvious.

"Make it so, number one."

Satdy afternoon? Snow permitting.

I find that, in general, I can offend people more by calling them clowns
than I can by calling them cunts.

 

At least it a little more polite calling them clowns rather than cunts.
Although the general feeling of derision is similar.

 

Yah got me number still?
Let me know what time Sat afnoon and I'll sort the gauges.
Assuming you bring yer passport across the water to the haloed ground that
is Kent

 

If - in an office environment, for example - you call someone a ****, it's
either jokey or you've lost it and you're angry at them, and they can laugh
at you and complain to HR about the naughty word. If you call them a clown,
it's a dispassionate[1] assessment of their worth and credibility, you're
laughing at them and there's no naughty words to report you for.

[1]No-one ever uses clown when they're angry.

 

.... just remember not to say FOYRNB at the end.

 

Ends in 507?

Two-ish suit you?

Us indigenous types don't need to go through immigration.

I knew you were a National Treasure but I didn't know you could ride a
bike on water rather than using the Blackwall Tunnel checkpoints ;-)

 

Number mentioned above is correct.
If she's in I'll have SWMBO put kettle on around 2 ish.
