Put the petcock back together today. Should I take the filters off the inlets so all the gunge collects in the bottom of the petcock? It would make it easier to clean.

 

 

But that would run any grunge through the valve section.  Just my 2c.

True. I was just wondering as I don't think they were on the original petcock. I'll leave them on and check the flow - should be fine though, given the dual outlets.

Just an update on this thing... 

Unfortunately this bike will be sold as soon as it's finished. I don't really have any use for it as I would just be using it for the same rides as I currently use the 750 - which isn't going anywhere. It would be a shame for it to just sit around and not get ridden. The money will go into building a small workshop next to the house so I have somewhere to paint and don't have to weld in the carport during winter.
All this means that I'll be getting the bodywork painted instead of doing it myself - will make it easier to sell if the bodywork is done properly. I just need to clear coat the switch blocks sometime before christmas so I can get the bike running and sort out the carbs, timing etc. By that time the bodywork should be done. 

Will post again when the switch blocks are done.
