totally agree with above fir new aerial in hole... access is as described, wheel off, arch liner off. aerials can be bought for a mere £5 unto £100 for dab ready electric/powered aerial.

better to replace both pumps and the fuel accumulator, that way you shouldnt need to revisit either anytime soon. Ive got new intank pumps, from peirburg, for 25£ posted .

looks pretty]

any look? it really is a 1minute job to pull the plastic trim , to access the screw. if you break handle dont worry ive a million of similar ones ...

around 20£ posted, i can double check part of my injection/carb mk2s
