Here goes again, this bike now known as the moneypit, but I love it.
Think I have sorted the spongy front brakes, looks like weeping bleed nipples may have been causing this.
When I replaced the fuel filter a few weeks ago I found that the tank lining had gone, large sheets of it floating around at the bottom, resulted in a load of bad language, calmed down removed most of it and put it back on.
I couldn't see any rust, I think the previous owner had left it with very little fuel in over past winters.
My question is I have read that I should redo the tank lining so have planned to do this in the winter, want to ride it a little more first, but does it really need to be done if I keep it full and use it on a regular basis?
I am sure that in the 80s my old bikes never had linings and we just used to swish a little oil in the tank if leaving over the winter.
Cheers so much again
