So as am confined to barracks I thought I would have a crack at making a new heatshield for the missing one. I purchased a 1mm small square of aluminium sheet and after removing the carb used a piece of cardboard to make a template and then marked it out in the ali. After cutting it out I glued a piece of exhaust glass fibre cloth to the base and then fitted. I hope this cures the problem of non starting in the summer. Now while I have got the carb off should I replace the o rings in the stepper motor? If anyone has any tips of getting in to them they would be gratefully accepted.
