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 winkeye
