Hello everyone,
My bike is a 1957 T110 engine with Thunderbird iron head and 7:1 pistons and Monobloc carb in a duplex frame.
I have now finished my build and I really love the result.
She starts first or second kick everytime when cold and runs really well but, unfortunately, refuses to start when warm.
I suspect that I must fit a carb insulator gasket to help prevent vapour lock but there is insufficient space between the carb and the frame, so I think an angled manifold is my best solution.
I have 3 questions which I'm sure you can help with:
*Is this likely to help resolve my problem
*Does anyone know where I can find one (I am in France)?
*Also, are there any potential performance problems?
