to the site. this is just for intros. if you can proffer your question in the relevant sections in the forum this will save this area for the intros thanks

cool, sounds like a great project. some nice plethora of bikes you have there too

and he got served

why check ohms? you only tend to do that for the stator need to see if 14.4 volts are there when engine is at 2 -3 k revs either the battery on its way out or Reg/rec if you think charging is suspect.

sounds ok to me too. I'd give it a service, when are the valves due to be checked?

in Mr Ferreira. Very formal so long as your first name is not Lou and you turn green when angry, i'm sure we can help somehow

didn't say you need to throttle up

Dec, I suppose Ant will be on his way?

fz600 have oil coolers, its basically a screw on part and i converted mine to a spin on filter from a xjr400

you can use an infrared thermometer too. very handy for diagnostic and for covid19

good info, did you have to machine pockets for the valves?

check inlet manifold for cracks and leaks by spraying easy start around there to see if the revs rise.

just keep it, not going to make a difference in the millions the DVLA take.

wow, I've spent a small fortune on just the top end of my TDM £90 just for a head gasket and that's for a twin cylinder bike.

to the forum I too own an XS400

An alternative is to use an ignitech unit

there's a technique to it, you don't want all power straightaway but a gradual process. I did mine so the leading edge touched fractionally before the rest

, Colin. love the tls front brake

nice bike

but there's air bleed jets surely? if they are blocked, then it'll always be rich

i didn't mean the jets themselves. more the carb body internals where the jets fit into

if you get desperate , you can use these guys http://www.carmoelectronics.co.uk/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=497_514_2129_2915

maybe your TCI has gone. have you ensured the earths are clean from the battery and to the engine. Switching on and off is the work of a simple contact set, that's why I'm looking at the TCI having issues. If you look on the TCI there is a TID number, try and borrow one of the same type to see if its that good look with the build
