 Ey up ..   i done 40 mile on the 600 yesterday and she went like dream.. she also fires up easy when hot .. such good fun to ride! So it seems repair beadblast and lining the tank.. replacing all fuel lines and a reyt good strip down and clean of the carbs and un seizing the choke plunger was all that was needed.. thanks so much for all your help id still be scratching my head now.. thanks again... ill be enjoying the 6 this summer and will then be doing a full strip down restoration over the winter... as for the 400 hopefully my uncle will get to have  look at it next week .. 😁⚡

Oh and i put the irridium spark plug in too! Yesterday which seems to have helped with the starting!

Aye Dan, that all sounds positive and I agree that the Iridium plug appears to make starting more reliable.

As for tank restoration, do it yourself, if you can and be aware that I have seen POR15 not adhering. BUT and it is a very LARGE "BUT" I do not know if the preparation was done as well as it should before POR15 was installed? There is also this "experience" posted on the forum from 2013: Tank_refurbishment? Caveat emptor!

Sally threw an electrical wobbler yesterday, no indicators and what appears to be a direct short on the battery!    So, all stripped out ready for investigation today. Still ran beautifully, thanks to the separate CDI.    Maybe I could borrow your Uncle?

Enjoy the beastie.

My regards, Bill

Ey up .. im on the lookout for a new tank for the 400.. damn thing has bubbled the paint again.. i should of binned the tank in the beginning but was too impatient to spend time finding a solid one .. the bloody thing is mostly filler it weighs  twice a normal tank.. it was my  first restoration lesson learned.. the guy who painted it made it look a million dollars  . And to be fair he said if i hadnt allready spent a small fortune on getting it plated and lined he would of told me to scrap it...  im in no rush this time . Ive put a message on the wanted bit but thought id pick your brains too as you was so helpful in getting my 600 sorted.. thanks guys...
Ohh and the 600 has been blowing indicator bulbs had uncle Graham round he said it was the rectifier .. replace that and its been sound since ..
