    I'm working on a 1991 Ducati with a fuel pump problem. The fuel filler flange is held in place by 8 tiny set screws. After years of working on British bikes I've come to expect a certain level of creativity, but this is a new one for me.

    Done a fair few of those, always fun

    There's a trick to the o-ring that helps seal the cap too, if the cap won't press down, slide the o ring all the way up, from memory.

    Wait until you deal with a battery replacement on an 821 monster. Where is the battery? Why, in the swingarm of course!

    I had one of my bright ideas over the weekend and ended up winning an auction for a "keyless start KTM RC390"

    Anyway picked it up today, and was pretty happy to find it's not in that bad condition at all, some plastics to fix, new ignition barrel, but otherwise seems to run fine, a lucky gamble :cool:

    Will make a great cheap track bike in any case!

    That fuel strainer is still good, right?
