new set of inlet and tb gaskets
think its 6 for the inlet
bit fiddly as ya cant see the nuts but not overly difficult to do
try cable tying the spring for the tube under inlet that should save you time messing with that
on a good day should have it done within 90mins fella
make sure you give it all a good clean out while you have it off
tin of carb cleaner
good luck chrome meister
