Re: Windshield Install

Re: Dell'Orto Adaptability
Thanks for your reply. I'm aware of the differences between the BS/BD model and the SD. The SD has the casting boss for the accelerator pump so I'm hoping the proper passageways are present inside.

Re: Whiny tach on 1976 R90/6
I have found that thin graphite oil like the type for locks works great. Thin enough to drip all the way down and leaves graphite behind for lube. Terry(below) also does this service work. Richard
