Carb parts ordered

Apart from being rather grubby, the carburetters are not in bad shape.

One has a wrong size O-ring, and the screw heads have been abused. But the needles are in good condition and so are all other major parts.

I've decided to replace all the screws, washers, O rings, filters and drain plugs.

The rest should clean up ok.

I'm ordering all replacement parts from Hitchcock's Motorcycles - they have an easy on-line ordering system and all the parts I need.

The new bits and bobs are listed below:

Part number	Description	Price/unit	Quantity	Total
AM/622/101	Flange O ring	1.06	2	£2.12
AM/622/086	Screw, float + top cover	0.83	8	£6.64
AM/622/077	throttle screw	1.10	2	£2.20
AM/622/076	adjusting screw	1.10	2	£2.20
AM/622/082	O ring (adjuster screws	0.55	4	£2.20
AM/622/067	needle clip	1.43	2	£2.86
AM/622/073	float chamber gasket	0.66	2	£1.32
AM/376/093	filter gauze	1.65	2	£3.30
AM/376/092	Carb banjo bolt washer	0.22	2	£0.44
AM/622/147	Drain plug	1.21	2	£2.42
AM/622/151	washer	0.28	2	£0.56
			Subtotal	£26.26
			VAT	£5.06
			P&P	£2.63
			TOTAL	£33.94

Once all these bits arrive, I'll rebuild the carbs so they look good as new.

Hi johann
I admire your get up & go spirit, regarding your rebuild. I too have a `69 bonnie that i am rebuilding, but mine has taken me two & a half years so far, & a long way to go yet!. I have had the bike for 34 years, but had a bad crash in `92, & the bike has been off the road since. I hope to finish it next year!. You make interesting reading.
cheers, Paul.
