Good finish, same as the other alu polished types.What're the inserts like?
^^ Are they going to be resin'd in?
Last time out in my old Chevy truck it had a weep from the accelerator pump diaphragm. The carb is a 'Spreadbore' Holley which was factory fitment to some 'Big Block' chevy trucks- it has made a good performance carb for my 5.7 litre small block after a bit of jiggery pokery with the jetting. However during the rebuild I decided to do something about the secondary choke dashpot. Inside the squareish cover at the bottom of the photo is a diaphragm with a spring, the springs are calibrated and colour coded a bit like the dashpot spring in an SU carb. Changing these springs affects the point in the rev range the big secondary chokes open; there is no mechanical means of opening the secondaries in a so-called 'vacuum secondary' Holley. Changing these springs around to fine tune a Holley can be an absolute pain as the used diaphragm can be really difficult to reseat around the edges once the 'new' spring is fitted on to
Thanks,Nice work Stuart A properly dialled in vac secondary for road work is a far better option than an oversized bore washing double pumper. Folk into yanks get all wrapped up in bigger is better and carbs are normally first on the hit list.

Ride the er6 after the Honda and buy the hondaon my old man style bikes the pegs are always lower so I feel like a boss if i ever get low enough to scrape them
I need to get buying a fresh bike for commuting. Key criteria is cheap, practical and economical... thinking a honda NC750 or ER6, nothing exciting or even remotely interesting.

I find the NC just doesn't appeal at all, I understand it's really economical and a good bike but just seems really dull (though haven't ridden one). I would probably look at the MT07 if I was going for that style of bike.Ride the er6 after the Honda and buy the honda
My dad had an er6 what an awful bike
Iv ridden a track version and whilst it handled I just don’t like parallel twins
Mmmm, thought it was from the feet. I'm looking at one just up the road from me - rusty heap, but i looks all thre except the gears. Do you cut threads on yours?I'll take a photo in a bit. It's a Drummond M type.
