False tank spring?

[ianstaley]

Hi does anyone have a spare false tank spring. on the 78 79, don't know if they are different, but my fuel tank top cover has the eagle badge on it right by the key hole. I gather there is a spring that sort of flips it up when opened? If anyone has one I would be grateful and happy to pay for it and the postage to the UK . Ian

I have one for a '78. I think all 1000's are the same. You can have it for free. Just pay shipping.
Do you need the pin or just the spring?

 

[ianstaley]

Hi thanks for that I think the whole thing pin as well as spring, thanks for the quick reply if you send me you address for paypal I will gladly pay. Ian
I will send you a PM with details. Ian

If you ever need an ignition keep us in mind.

Right now I have no idea what is the condition of the ignition system, I would imagine that after 15 years sitting in the garage it will be pretty gruesome, I should think that the coils will be shot so would the timing advance and retard system and I did read the thread about your system Hooch's C5 iggy (ignition) I love his use of language as you can imagine it can be a bit daunting reading his threads as an Englishman but he is very entertaining but at the same time very knowledgeable.

I don't know if you have a supplier over here maybe wingovations? but right now I am not at the stage where I will be considering the ignition system. Just doing some small repair and rust control with the bike in general. The rack is out and I will be going to a single DTF type carb so your system may well be the answer.

:smilie_happy: you want to hear something really funny ....I was actually born in England ianstaley......but the fine English just didn't survive the swamps of Florida where I spent most of my life growing up and young adulthood...

I would never trade that childhood for anything ever ....its simply gone now ....it wasn't good for English language ......but it was a dream childhood of excitement ......

id rather have my swamp raising childhood of freedom ...than todays civilize childhood of slavery we have today ...dam shame what this country has become

my speech frown on and laughable ...is really what childhood of freedom is ...simple a not tainted by the bs civilized master child trainers of complete nonsense and stupidity ...proven by the shape the world is in ... im so glad these people were afraid of the swamp people :smilie_happy: :cheeky: :ahem:

Best of luck. I am sending out your spring and rod today.

Joe glad to meet a "brother Englishman" from the swamps, I love to watch that Discovery Program called swap people here in the UK well there are two programs, one about catching crocks or alligators in the swamps the other is about lifting sunken trees from the swamps. I don't frown on your speech and your written word, life would be so dull if we all talked the same and my youngest son Gillon (was a Fireman is Seattle) has come back home after 12-13 years in the states with his mother. He has a slight drawl that comes out better when he is drunk.

And to be honest I talk like a Yorkshire man and that is very far from the so called Queens English. we have a saying here in West Yorkshire " if tin't in tin thun it tint int tin. it says if it isn't in the tin then it isn't in the tin. stupid statement isn't it.

dont ya love language...
