Teething troubles
People really drove the T series HARD... out of all the cylinders I have (3sets!) only one has unbroken exhausts spigots. These were usually rewelded, but with so few threads left that i doubt the exhausts sealed at all. Could explain why all my bikes have missing barrels: they probably all seized after the repair.
I will have to use a set of T250 II cylinders with extra exhaust ports, bit more poke and require the use of slightly larger 26mm carbs. These have only been cleaned, not bead blasted. I just need new O-rings for the flanges. I also need to check if the carbs float function properly... just trying to avoid leaks.
