Massive thank you to Martin

Massive thank you to Martin for helping me sort out my FBH problem.

Problems with it locking out. Finally figured it out the their was no fuel getting through. Took pipe off burner end. And tried to blow the gunk back through with compressor. No luck.

Then scrabbled on the cold floor (in non working clothes, we removed all the underside protection to get to the fuel pump. Got the pipe off and clear the pipe with the compressor back into the tank. Obviously sucked up some gunk when it last worked and the tank was well below qtr full. Also found the rear near side nut on the front arm had come loose and was just sitting on the under body protection. Arms were changed back in November. Headed over to my indie who replaced the nut and side it hadn't cut. Then had to head to pro tyre for alignment check. Full re-alignment FOC, the guy was awesome.

So the best outcome but a quick one hr job took all afternoon. All things happen for a reason.

Once again great website and brilliant people all around.

Sadly while under there we checked out the rear propshaft and my central bearing has gone. So time for a new one. Big Cry
