G'day Fellas, Happy New Year.
For the first time in a while I made it to midnight

I've had to take the new manifolds off the Cafe as there is an air leak. Not real bad but I'm not happy with any air leak.
Seems like two, one where the flange goes onto the spigot of the carb and where the flange meets the manifold.
The flange was made from 10mm alloy plate and must have distorted with all the grinding into shape. All fool me for not checking

. Got it flat on glass & wet & dry paper. It's a light press fit onto the carb but I'll put an O ring in there and groove the flange to take an O ring there (like the one's used on concentrics). All the O rings in my kits are too thick so ebay to the rescue. A mob in Sydney has what I need but is closed for the holidays. Bugga, two weeks wait. Bah Humbug.
Ho hum, that gives me time to see why the plungers kicker is a little stiff.
Cheers
