998s Refurb

I can't remember which way Paul but I do remember thinking this thing has to break when I stripped my 998s there tight

 

You can see the clips on the underside of the airbox if you shine a light via the LH side. Hope you understand. Clockwise to remove is oké as far as I can remember.

 

Gteen o ring on the shoulder as I remember

 

Anti clockwise to remove. Make sure you put a smear of red rubber grease over both the O rings inside the throttle bodies when refitting. Don’t split them as they are a tenner a piece.
And the O ring in the recess on the fuel pump base A bit of red rubber grease over the O ring and job’s a good un.

 

Where the number 23 is showing the O ring in the coloured diagram.

 

Here's our image if that is what you mean:

 

It is a bastard to get back in. I used some bolts to pull the whole assembly slowly back in rather than trying to push it as it's so difficult to keep square and it tries to squish out. I now use 90 shore hardness viton O-rings instead of the 75 hardness rings that are standard. Helps a little.

 

Grease it up and wind it in - feck knows what to do with your o-ring though

 

Just so you know Paul, mine popped out easily and went back in with little effort and no leaks to boot. Just thought I would let you know before the 17 page fuel tank o ring thread kicks off

 

It always pays to have a few spare, never had the need to use more than one though.

 

I think that lot with a tube of o-ring specific grease came to £14 delivered, a few years back.

Just for a heads up, the best way to get the pump plate back into the bottom of the tank without any issues is to use bolts to gently pull the whole assmbly into place and a good smear of red rubber grease

 

What news from Cork? How’s it coming on Paul?

 

He's just taking the sprocket cover off a sucking through his teeth.

 

Have you finished painting the house yet? I'm doing the windows and doors at our gaff in between weather
