K&N learnings...
- The RU-0100 filter barely fits, but she does RUN with it
- The RU-0060 filter also barely fits, and she RUNS with that, too
- The RU-0060 filter is 75MM high - whereas Roxy's is only 62MM!! How did I get that measurement so wrong.
- Browsing the K&N site again and stumbled on "Vent Filters" as opposed to Air Filters, and found the shorty filter which I think Roxy uses. Will know for sure in a week...
Carb gasket learnings...
- There was definitely gas leaking from where the bottom half meets the top.
- I drained the carb using the carb catch but this time put a thick layer of duct tape around it (worked a treat)
- Thought I'd just replace the gasket with the Keyster one, but then realized the Keyster was too small (and realized that that's probably why I cut my own in the first place). It kept the floats from actually moving.
- Pulled the gasket from the other Keihin carb only to realize that one was also DIY
- Tried pulling the gasket from the broken Mikuni, but only half a gasket was even there
- In the end, put in the DIY gasket from the other carb only because it looked to be in slightly better shape
- Will have to check again to see if it's still leaking...
Petcock learnings...
- Unfortunately, there seems to be a very slow but steady gas leak coming from the petcock even when fully closed
- It leaks now because it's open at the end, but if it were attached to the carb, wouldn't it stop once the carb filled?
- Though having a petcock that doesn't actually stop the flow seems pretty pointless.
- There are 2 used ones in stock, but not sure of the condition. Or maybe just need to disassemble and check this new one.
