The 644 and R30 have the suzuki engine from the Freewind, I have no idea what that one is though. I have a 644 DS, which is a nice bike but does feel like it's made up of bits from various different bikes at times.
I think there was a 400 that has the DRZ400 engine too
Thanks guys I think it's probably just me expecting thin metal to weld the same as thicker stuff and needing to practice more. it does weld a quick tack fairly well which is what I was planning on doing anyway. I'll give the copper pipe a try too.
Hi all,
I'm trying to weld some thin 0.8mm bodywork sheet with my Wolf 140 (with argon/co2) and i'm having issues. It welds fine at higher power settings but on 1 or 2 it welds ok for a second and then stutters and burns back a bit.
I was reading this could be wire feed too slow but turning it...
Thanks guys, what Dcal said makes sense to me so I'll go down that route. I was thinking about getting some Dinitrol 3125 or Dynax s50 for cavity wax.
I've also been recommended Waxoly by a family member and almost bought some some months back but then I read a bunch of negative reviews on here...
I was wondering what everyone's advice is for painting areas you cant reach once they have been welded to stop rust. I've seen a lot of people on youtube and such using lots of weld through primer, but I've seen discussion on here that it's not much use for stopping rust? I'm using Jotun 90...
Thanks guys I will definetly make up some kind of frame. I think I will probably go with replacing the passengers side and patching up the drivers side, but I will see how things go once I start cutting into it and get a better view.
I'll definetly be back with more questions and photos once I...
It is monocoque. Keeping it square is one of the worries I have about doing this and I was thinking about making up a little jig to make sure it goes in the right place. For the control arm mounting points, theres another two holes that you can see on the top right of the first picture that I...
Hi guys,
I bought a '89 Toyota MR2 a few months back that had been sitting and found that it has quite a lot of rust, the worst of which is on the front chasis rails right where the control arm mounts.
My experience in welding is quite limited, I had a cheap gassless mig years ago that I did a...
Thanks everyone, I've that I will not bother with disponsables then. Theres a distributor nearby that does rent free bottles, so I will get one of those.
Hi,
I recently bought a car I found out needs welding work done to the chassis and sills replacing so i'm looking to buy a mig so I can do it myself. My only previous experience is with a very cheap £100 ish gasless welder I bought years ago (and also lent out years ago, although I could get it...
hi, im new to welding and i cant seem to get a decent weld. the problem i get is just a splatter of blobs around the weld area. anyone know what might cause this?
im using a gasless mig, it doesnt seem to have any power settings other than the work time and wire speed. (work time is set to 60%)
