The oiltank is as clean as its left the factory. I first tried to de-grease the tank with some industrial de-greaser but this only made the sludge more soft. Then I tried you're solution, worked fine. Thanks again Gunter for you're advice.
I have tried this last weekend, the only thing which cleaned up very nice was myself. I had also some good result with a fueltank some years ago but the sludge and sand in the oiltank is quit sticky.
I have bought an oiltank some time ago. The previous owner has sandblasted it to get rid of the old paint. As I allready suspected the inside of the oiltank is covered in sludge and a lot of sand. Is anybody having some experience with this ? Is there any solvent or anything to get rid of the sludge and sand ? Regards,
Yes they are quit rare, I have several of these floatbowls but non of them is a 0 degree. There is someone in France who I met some years ago which is making these floatbowls but they cost over a 1000,- Euro which is to much for me. Isn't it an idea to see if it is worth to make a small batch of these ourselves ?? Take a look at this website, this guy is really an artist : http://www.brufnut.de Maybe you know this guy allready.
I am missing some parts and I have seen that there are also marelli parts mounted. I have no idea how thess FF1 should look with original parts, so I am after pictures, parts lists, foto's, etc...
Thanks for you're reply. I know drawing M2901 because I have a 1930 Ulster model 100mpH. So I will go for M2904 or M2905. I have bought a lot of 1930 spares and when I have collected them I will have a look what type of pedals are there.
I want to change the handchange gearbox of my 1930 special into a footchange gearbox. I have allready a modified gearbox. Can someone help me with some foto's or any technical details how the crossover spindel and footchange pedal is fitted into the cradleplates ?
Restoration is almost ready, I hope I will be riding her this summer. Still one part missing: petrol tank !! Does anyone have one for spare ? Please look in you're shed. I have some inetresting swops.
