    Well, I want to be able to shut the fuel off in case a float valve goes
    AWOL and dumps it all on the garage floor. I know a QR connector will
    do that, but seems a bit extreme...

    Good point. Bung one this way? Still undecided whether I want to sell
    the Z, actually. It's still such fun to ride.

    I might be suffering from dodgy memory but I'm sure there's something
    dodgy about viton seals. I'll have a mind search over the next few
    days and try to remember why they're not a good thing.

    That's the baby. Not very nice things to play with especially when it
    comes to disposal time.

  13. Pays to be careful when rummaging around the breakers if you find
    something in a burnt engine bay.

    Two in-line fuel taps now obtained from local lawnmower emporum, for
    £6 a pop. Nice idea, Lozzo.
