Yes but it is No issue at all since the blocked off spigot is actually plugged with an M4 Stainless Steel Allen head screw that I have machine tapered it head...,tapped and red threadlocked into the metal spigot.. The perished rubber cap you see is really only a Vacuum cap "cover" placed over the top and retained in place with one of the little clamps from the discarded carburetor "heater pipe system". Actually I also did likewise with the horizontal metal coolant pipe that runs across the rear of the cylinder head in front of the carbs 👍 So those Vacuum cap "covers" are really only cosmetic and do not serve to "plug the spigot"... Having said that...,I do intend to replace them with New replacements since that perished "look" is not acceptable on this bike.. BG
It's all becoming very real and exciting now, Brian. I'm looking forward to seeing your next video for sure 😊👍
You and me both Edmund....!
Are you Ready...!!????
Sounds like an even better solution!
Hey Brian, did you notice the cracked rubber block off nipple in front of the waterpump? it was really noticable at the 12:30 mark.
