| Hi
I have found this machine a really good conversion, the only critisim i have is the fuel caps, if you accidently overtighten them they leak like anything, i found they would be fine for a few months and then all of a sudden i would go into the workshop one day and find a nice pool of fuel everywhere.
And once one leaks it seems the other starts as well, well i have tried many things, Plumbers tape, metal Hose clips, and nothing worked all it did was distort the lid,
the problem seems to be the fuel tank lid goes through the base plate, so you loose 1 or 2mm of screwing thread, and if you over tighten you've had it.
I was left with 2 options,
1 - turn the fuel tanks up the right way, which would require re-plumbing and draining the entire fuel system
2 - order new caps and fuel tanks and make the hole bigger in the base plate so the cap fits through it and can be screwed up the extra 2 turns.
well i found a solution last night, Coolpower fuel caps, they are taller, and they have an inner part - a second lid within a lid, well i have tighten them up really tight and so far after 2 days no fuel leaks, i have left half a tank of fuel in each to test.
I thought it may help others who may have experienced this problem.
it is only a minor critism on what is a good conversion.
