Tommy, John, Robbo, Guybro, Joe, Paul and Bert.........thanks again chaps Paul.......i think there are about 25 little decs underneath and a few teeny ones up top then the larger ones, i believe there is about 40 or so decs altogether. |

Welcome to wings Bots buddy... Stencils are the individual track links of aircraft modelling  Top work on the camo, a sof edge camo was often seen on RAF aircraft either through field application or wear and tear scuffing the edges. |

Will be back on this shortly......still having long term issues with my motor cycle and i need to get it sorted so`z i can sell it, carburetor stip down for the 3rd time!!!!.......i only did this last year and i reckon the replacement parts were`nt what they said on the packet, i ordered for a GSF 600 and i reckon they sent GSF 1200 main jets and main needle seat instead, the bike is unable to stop carbon fouling on the plugs within a few minutes and cuts out.....i reckon the possible wrong jets are over fueling and i`m unable to make it run leaner.....i`ve just fitted another set froma different company and these look like the right ones hopefully.

Thanks fellas........i`ve had to order a new diaphram for one of the carbs as it has a very slight tear in it (my fault!!), when this arrives i can finish putting the last few bits on, fresh fuel, new plugs and a prayer Robbo.........i`m just a tight wad!! , i`d rather learn stuff than pay some one else unless to do it, i quite enjoy the challenge.......i dont work on my car tho as it has far more technology than my old Ford, the bike is more of a hobby and i`m hoping to sell this and get a Lambretta to build for a project  |

I had untold issues with the carbs on my 600 Bandit.
In the end it was the idle jets that had worn.
Sold it in the end. Next bike will be fuel injection and single cylinder!

Yeah....havin` 4 to contend with to balance up is a friggin` nightmare........and the air/fuel mixture screw ain`t in the most accessible place on the middle two!!!!........these have had a full jet replacement on all four so i can rule out wear and tear at least if it still don`t fix the prob  ...single cylinder and one carb, that`s why i want a Lambretta |

Well it seems my re-build paid off........starts and runs like new (not speaking too soon..),some minor tweeks may be needed but it ticks over and revs on the button Hopefullly now i can get back to some modelling |
