Re: Redexrob help
Sure it was fuel and not water? If it was an air leak the revs would normally be hanging. Might be worth checking how tight they are if you still have it apart, but what ever you do dont over tighten them and strip the thread. Probably better to see how much it taken to undo them rather then see if they will do up any tighter.

Re: Redexrob help
theres a common problem with restrictor kits being fitted causing air leaks because bolting metal to metal doesnt perform a good seal, might be worth getting some sort of sealant and sealing them up properly if they havent already.

Re: Redexrob help
ye thats no good that will be causing an air leak and running problems, they need sealing down onto the head, i think people use hylomar but im not sure as i havent done it, im sure someone on here will be able to tell you what they have used.

Re: Redexrob help
yeah hylomar should do it. Just dont put too much on or it will squidge out from the surfaces and interupt the flow of fuel to the head. High temperature silicone like silicone exhaust sealant is good too
