wild foamy

did you check the wiring before you installed the new ignition?, on some ignitions it will have a temporary on for the ignition and headlights and a permanent on for the radio and other electrics so they will still have power when you turn the key off (hence why the radio in my dads van keeps resetting itself every time you stop ) also check for shorts and loose connections

hmm... not sure wether to laugh because its funny or because... its... just wrong...

*drool* what have i told you about teasing me?!...

haha, fucking hilarious

hmm, i may leave it until i come back from ireland then. dont forget, going back to perth i will be doing about 30-40mph tops, you would likely get bored, lol

hi everyone. whats the best way to sell my DT50?, i dont want to try ebay because they have all these buy it now fees, final value fees, reserve fees, starting price fees e.t.c and there is no guarantee i will get a good price for it and i dont want to sell it for £150 and then be left with no transport and not enough money for another bike. Ad Trader charges £6 per ad and has a 40 word limit, so that is pretty much ruled out of the equation. is there any cheap advertising media that is well-known and gets a lot of views that i could post my ad on? ive posted an add in the for sale section and on some small free advertising websites but i doubt i will get any response. any ideas? - Steve

hmm, can't be the fuel intake as i dont imagine it would flow directly into the carb bowl as that would defeat the whole purpose of the floats. are you sure it isnt a drain?, perhaps the brass tube had broken off/was removed. im all out of ideas

yup, i voted 10

i posted an ad in the for sale section and elsewere on the 'net, so will wait and see what response(s) if any i get.

they are at the lowest point externally, but inside they are connected to a brass tube which sticks up from the bottom of the carb bowl so in the event of an overflow the fuel level will have to rise above the height of the brass tube before it can flow down it and out the overflow pipe.

top speed is 40mph and is calibrated on my GPS, but i will probably be averaging 30 was thinking of doing it in my summer holidays (13th feb - 21st feb), may have to find a travelinn to stay in overnight though, lol

Hi everyone. just wondering, is anyone else on the organ donors register?, i signed up through the DVLA when i got my licence, figured since i was on a moped ive got more of a chance of being spread across the tarmac so why not do some good after im gone food for thought... - Steve

a blocked vent hole will rpevent the air entering the tank, make sure you get it good and clear using a nail, pin or other small object, give it a blow with an airline if you have one

i reckon im gonna need something with longer legs... would be an interesting thing to do though...

would being a classic affect the price at all?. last time i took it to probike they started laughing , plus there arent any nice 50cc bikes in there that i can afford, the only Enduro they had in there last time was a reiju SMX50 which was £1,599

not 100% sure how they work, but the drains basically would have some fuel pipe attached to it which would just direct the fuel away from the engine so it can be dumped somewere safe.

my reserve is abot 1.5 litres i think, should get me a good 20+ miles i think assuming im not thrashing it in my normal manner

thats so coooool . too bad you will be hiding it under the leathers... ive got another year and 9 months to wait for mine, full length snake down my left arm

lol, aint it so true the multiple choice questions are laughable...

well, on my DT they are fuel drains, i would think yours would be the same. does it run without them?

Hi everyone. what price would i get if i was to sell my DT50MX, its got a lot of features on it and now ive sorted out the carb and mixture its been very reliable. its 1990, got 24,000 miles on the clock, brand new tyres, good brakes and clutch, all new control cables, new wheel bearings, Acerbis headlamp, renthal bars, carbon effect indicators, Reinforced handguards, new chain and sprockets, spare set of tyres (with legal tread), pod filter, Bigone exhaust and expansion chamber. its also got new piston rings in it which have about 50 miles on them, spare set of brand new piston rings, brand new in box big bore kit, V5C, HPI Clear, Old MOT certificates, 9 months Tax and MOT, Haynes manual, Yamaha publication brochure, old tax disks and various other bits of paperwork. so realistically, what is a good price for it? - Steve Pics attached

This poor little DT is starting to show its age now... not sure if it will take me that far :s ... one way to find out...

blimey, thats a long way... hmm...

Hi everyone. just wondering, how far is it (avoiding motorways and dual carriageways) is it from John O'groats to lands end? and where can i get a decent set of road tyres? (3.00/18" and 2.75/21") - Steve

green lanes are scary, all that mud, leaves and shite across the road and me batting along with my knobbly tyres...
