Speaking of the Jardine spaghettis, what do you do on them to keep them from leaking at the collectors? I mean to take them off and on I have to take them apart there, but I don't think I can use something that will cement them together there, but what can I do to keep them sealed?

Cy, this stuff works on the collector pipes very well to keep them from leaking...

Hey guys,
Sorry been riding and/or working on the boat and fishing and have been away.
Rob,
I have the standard jetting on the J, it came with it, but I had an issue with it running smoothly between 1.5K and 2.2K rpm. Phil and I tried everything under the sun and still couldn't get it to smooth out, so I just went to a larger pilot jet (#50, I think) and that took care of that. I'm running the std air filter which I baby big time. So far it hasn't been an issue, thinking about the K&N mod but that's another story.
In so far as the SS Jardine 4X2, yeah, the #1 is loose and I was wondering how to seal it up. Phil suggested ultra black but, I like Ivan's suggestion. I'll let you know what happens when I get there. Right now it's down to the frame engine and rear wheel, after my son slammed into a parked car. Currently under restoration.
