Pressure backflushed the radiator and engine seperately.
Put green stuff where there was red stuff :oops:
Put a new radiator cap in place of the broken one.
Put pop rivets in the back ends of the chrome trim strip cos they kept moving out.

Finally got around to buying a set of new piston springs for the carbs, chucked a matched pair of reds in to replace what appears to have been one red, one blue :roll:

You may need to either lift the engine up slightly or remove the wheel and top ball joint so the drive shaft has a bit more movement.

Cheers, will give removing the ball joint a try. Tried moving the engine up and down to get some clearance but couldn't get enough room.

Do you need to grease the uni joints? I know oil kills them but wasn't sure if they go in dry or greased up.
Haynes manual says nothing.
