Points, breakers and contact thingymabobs, what the heck is this?
Hey peeps Just bought a spares or repair honda E300 generator (made in 1967ish, so about 2-3 times my own age) and i cannot get the fecker to spark, its a 50cc (or there abouts) four stroke and the plan was to strip it down and install it inside the mini with some sort of electric start mod for running bits and pieces/charging batteries at mini shows, but i may just keep it for running lights and stuff have taken the end cap off and found the points, and the coil, cleaned up the little arm thing that opens and closes (name unknown) and checked the gap (15 thou) but still nothing, have tried 2 plugs which i know are good, the killswitch operates fine with continuity in the "off" position and open line in the "run" position (this particular switch earths the ignition) im clueless now peeps, perhaps some of the more vintage members amongst us can shed some light on my problem? love to all Foameh P.S. this is what i found under the endcap: http://s1008.photobucket.com/albums/af208/wildfoamy/?action=view¤t=DSCF1432.jpg

XJ6 TYRES
i run whatever i can pick up on ebay, continentals tend to be the best for me imho, i dont get my knee down on the XJ so i run a harder compound to get more miles out of them

Does this mean I have to give up riding dangerous bikes now?
Congrats bud! Bikers are not safe, you're right, riding on the bus isnt safe, crossing the street isnt safe either, only thing you can do is cover your own ass and take precautions (riding with lights on, high vis jacket, good quality riding gear e.t.c), pass on your knowledge of biking to the younger generation in he hope that they are better prepared to deal with the common situations we find ourselves in, education is the best form of prevention but its still not going to be 100% safe and never will be

women
i have a theory... every baby is born with a meat and two veg, and when the baby is born the doctor holds them up by the meat and two veg and slaps the baby on the ass, if the bollocks drop off and the baby lands on its head, its a woman.
