Air box flapper and fuel filter.

On UK bikes of this type the air box has a weighted flap on the air intake.
This helps to stop the a stutter when accelerating ( apparently ).
The rubber hinge had perished as in the photo.

A new hinge was cut and secured with stainless screws instead of rivets.


Next on the list is an essential thing for a 28year old bike is a fuel filter.
I purchased a quality filter but needed a bracket to support it due to its weight.
I'm using a stainless plate that I had from a previous bracket.

A vertical cut and a drilled hole finishes the bracket.

A small circular clampl holds the filter.

A piece of rubber pipe protects the filter glass from the clamp.

The backet in place fitted to the side of the carburetor connected with new rubber tube and pipe clips.
