  3. could be timing makinig it overheat and causing partial seizure or fuel to vapourise!!
  4. ok.... centre - stud hole to hole = 67mm engine side orafice =32mm carb side orafice = 42mm depth = 35mm
  5. on the engine, clutch side, wind in adjuster as per manual then set free play 1 - 2mm at clutch lever if no different:- clutch cable not lubed, incorrectly routed, or it could be frayed inside. for the price, buy a new one. lastly your clutch pushrod could also be bent preventing it returning against the clutch springs.
  6. try taking your fuses out and give them a clean. could be a + coil feed problem.
  7. you have 34mm carbs which should fit the 34mm 400cc intakes. I can measure both circumferences on my spare set if you like? for reassurance. drewpy
  8. he looks exhausted........and limp.
  9. A guy is walking on the street, feeling suicidal after losing his job and divorcing is wife, when suddenly he finds Santa. "Hey Santa! I'm so glad I found you! I would be so happy if you gave me a loving wife and a new job this Christmas!" "Sure thing. You'll have all that you want if you pay a small price...", says Santa before dropping his pants and pointing to his cock. The guy finishes-up and wipes his mouth and Santa asks him "How old are you?" "38, why?" "And at that age you still believe in Santa?"
  10. What do Michael Jackson and Santa Claus have in common? They both leave little boys' bedrooms with empty sacks

  21. I'm really into the Cretaceous period rock. the granite formations of the Phanerozoic deposits on the Earth's landmasses were especially formulatic in its Phanerozoic rock column

    '74 TX500

    Im not sure that means the coils are ok as what I think is happening is, the HT primary has a bit longer to build up the power and finally jumps the gap, that is how those gizmos work which are said to improve the sparking. you need 12V to the coils!! try temp routing a lead to them from battery and recheck spark or check fuse box for any resistance. how are your leads connected to the coils? undo and redo the caps (are they resistance type? as you may have resistance leads as well!!)

    '74 TX500

    are you charging ok and reg and rectifier within specs? Battery fully charged? have you made sure the earth strap is secure to the engine? my coils checked out ok ohm wise, but heated up so much the wax melted in the HT input (sealed) try a new set of coils (£23 off ebay for pair)
