Monday I had a hectic day which resembled a 60 minute makeover. The builder asked me to cut 2 central heating pipes to the boiler in the garage that needed re routing as they were in the way of the rsj location. Id cut them off and the builders boss turned up and said can you reconnect them in a...
I’ve taken the main jet out and it’s #178. Can’t seem to find anything close to that. There’s kits on eBay which most go up to 160 and very few upto 170
Where do you think I should start?
No I got some more but the others were brass rimmed and punched in and I was already wrecking parts - didn’t fancy doing any more damage. Do you think it’s burning gear oil then?
Cheers mate I’ll give all that I try. Not planning on keeping it when I get the 250/ 300 exc so didn’t want to spend too much on things but they have been done if required.
The plug is a decent ngk one £20 odd which has a special tip that doesn’t break off and ruin the cylinder, piston and...
That second video was before I was born, just. “They’ve gone to a disc brake system”
Hell of a skill in that trials malarkey.
Had a little blast up the runway and the jetting all seems to be out. It was a bit smokey previously but ran pretty good, I’m surprised as it’s really cold today so you...
I’ve seen him do the hare scramble. He quite often takes tougher lines to get passed people and seems so relaxed at it. Getting past them on the flat isn’t his style.
Cheers mate, very much appreciated. I’m between bedford and kimbolton, where in beds are you?
I found that at Whaddon. I only had about 10 hours experience and didn’t quite fancy the track with the jumps but the flat track was awsome. My friend was on his yz 125 and having him to chase...
I’ve been to whadon near MK/ stoney Stratford before but I’m still pretty new to it. I think I’m getting the most out of it but reviewing headcam videos of me on it I’m hardly on the power band at all. Need to be more fearless but I work for myself so have a lot to lose.
I’m doing my direct...
Cheers, will do. It’s never kicked back thankfully but generally I’m pretty smart with my safety wear. I’d spent another 3 hours on it tonight in my work kit and I was keen to check it ran.
Perfect mate thank you. I need to get some copper washers for the oil change. Stuck the previous stuff back in as it only had a couple of hours use.
I know Ali is soft but the the crankcase bolts all require 10 nm on m6 bolts with about 20mm of threads. That feels quite tight actually.
I’ve...
Nice job mate.
What sort of height does this give you? I manage with a standard lifting paddock but it’s a bit wobbly if one wheel isn’t on the ground.
Look forward to an update.
Collected from Richard on Friday and nice to see you again pal.
I should of taken more pictures but reassembled the engine yesterday and this evening and it took approximately 5 hours total.
Took my time to gently shave off old gasket material, torque everything to spec and ensure things...
