I was out fixing the headlining on the 750 last night and was running it to heat it up when I started getting a smell of petrol. I put about 1/4 tank of fresh fuel in it as the old fuel had been in it for about a year. My first thought was a leak from the tank but having checked all seemed well. It turned out that it's dripping from the pipe from the vacuum advance to the carb. It only seems to be dripping when under pressure, but the leak was right on top of the engine which was getting nicely hot. That could have been very nasty...
Another job for a weekend.
On the plus side the headlining is sorted, it was drooping badly at the back. I took it out and reinforced it by bonding strips of steel to the back. Job done.
