georgefix on ebay

Have heard about him several times but have not needed anything lately. (good thing too as I've been broke )

Last time I bought kits from bikebandit they were $20.00 so I got a few extra. Price has gone north since then.

The petcocks on my 78E leaked a bit. I took them off, apart, cleaned and polished the valve face, put a bit more tension on the spring and they work fine - knock on wood.

I had a different corroded pair and, after taking them apart, decided to burn off some of the crude with my propane torch. The fuel nipples glowed before they started to melt. Be aware of that.

Just ordered exhaust gaskets from him, supposed to ship today. Quite a bit less than Yamaha OEM, which are no longer available according to Zannoti Motors. 4 gaskets for $10.60 which includes shipping.

Thanks
Guess I'll try GeorgeFix.

I'm tired of only having either on or
massive leaks in any other position.
