Thanks - I’m going to take your advice on that - I really am sick of ethanol fuel problems.

Cheers
Paul

I started the bike today and it runs really nicely on all 4 cylinders- it needed choke in the cold conditions so it’s not running rich - sadly it started raining before I could check the fuel levels with the engine running - I’ll try again tomorrow.

Cheers
Paul

Hi Gianni,

The Fuel Taps are still available from Yamaha - I use Fowlers of Bristol, UK - they will despatch internationally - there are fuel taps on ebay but check the part number is correct....

I would recommend the Viton diaphragm and seals even with a new tap. You can get these from NRP in the UK...
