Decided to rejet my Trident 900 with a dynojet kit to remove a flat spot with the aftermarket exhaust. First take off the carbs....not the easiest of jobs on the original Hinkley bikes, so ouch, sheared off the vacuum pipe
None on ebay, so ... out with a length of brass on the lathe:
turned a new tube in brass and ran a die down the end M6:
that's the insert made:
So spot face and tap the carb top:
and that's me sorted:
Strange, but I almost seem to enjoy fixing things like this, though added half an hour to the job
