the "Fuel return valve" you may be referring to is called a "Fuel Pressure Regulator".  test it using a fuel pressure gauge.  you can't clean it by sticking anthing in it.  replace if bad.  (and if it "needed" cleaning, whatever crap was in it had to have gotten through the fuel filter in the tank and the crap would be in the injectors too.)

the "choke" does not enrich the mixture.  all it does is open the throttles to raise the idle.
Thanks  it the valve I’m on about is the one in the tank, not the regulator behind the throttle bodies. And yes, I know the ‘choke’, dosnt choke the engine like a choke on a carb.The valve should unscrew but dosnt, as it’s been all year resined in, by the looks of it.

In soggz' mega thread the return valve in the tank was blocked, he could only partially clean it since it was jb welded in. It was idelling good for a while but needs a proper clean. Gryph's suggestion was put to him then as well.

Sorry I meant that suggestion had already been put to soggz. I didn't mean that soggz ignored you.

yes I do, and thanks for your help. Much appreciated, but my world isn’t just about fixing old BMW’s I found in a shed. Lots going on here, with three boys, one that’s just left school, plus my own business to consider. You know nothing of this though, but things get lost along the way, I do appreciate everyone’s help, but it’s a bit of a whirlwind trying to get things done. I am a self employed gardener, and at this time of year in England , trying to earn a wage is fucking hard, so this bike isn’t as a priority as much to me as it is to someone else, but becuase of this weeks impending shite weather, I am making an attempt to spend as much time on this bike this weekend to get the bloody thing working properly, which will include stripping the tank back down and trying to get this bloody valve thing out without damaging anything. As I said. There are no breakers around here and there certainly ain’t any old k bikes about!Online for sale in England, I think there are not even a dozen k75 bikes.!

I simply just want to get this one back up to original spec and keep it as a bad weather, but reliable bike, for the time being.

Worked with a Scot (Paratrooper Selection), and all it took to get him fired up and motivated was playing the bagpipe ringtone on the cell. Keep nibblin' away and you'll have a running brick in time. I agree, UK weather sucks.

Thanks. Keep the faith!
Look at this...old one out, new (second hand from another tank) in. The old one rattled, the new one only let’s compressed air in one way!
That’s got to be good. Also, the inside of my tank. Big lump of epoxy resin. Must have leaked once, hence it being there!

Put a new thermo sensor in today, and started prepping the cowl for paint and filler.

1. This is MAGA Country.
Funny, as I just confirmed the last 2 issues of BMW ON magazine had only a single, small picture of a non-white person in the magazines (p84, with the benevolent Caucasian standing over.)
Coincidence, MAGA, government cover-up, or more Ancient Astronaut misdirection? You make the call.

Thanks. I’m getting there slowly with it should be getting near mot time,as long as my posts don’t keep getting doctored by the mods,with black women. Must be an ‘American’ thing.
