TOPIC:

My RC600 when found due to old age and damp storage had the rubber bonded to the alluminium casting of the inlet manifold cracked, separating from the casting and unusable, fortunately I had a spare.
I stripped the damaged rubber from the scrap casting and inserted 2 steel shouldered sleeves into the casting to extend this was my casting pattern, the finished all alli casting should be a direct replacement, its length is enough to fit 2 short lengths of rubber hose with 4 hose clips to retain everything together and hold the carb in place, anybody want to try one

hi my rc 600 needs a manifold yours sound a good solution, the old one had split and been binned by the previous owner I,ve found a different one that sort of fits 2 of the 4 bolts fit,but I don't think its a good solution and I can not get it to start as I think its leaking air,its not helped by the fact it has no starter motor so im having to kick it I think I need a bigger leg thanks kev

Hi Kev I tried to attach pictures before but they did not go If you give me your email address or mail me on This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. I can send pictures to you.
If you want to try one I will not be in the UK until April/May next year and looking at the weather you had over Christmas not a bad idea
Cheers
