wild foamy

Well peeps im so close now! there is one bolt left to remove and the engine and frame can be seperated!. gonna be a bastard though, snapped a drill bit drilling the last one but still managed to get most of the way through it, even with 1/2" of bolt material left in contact with the frame it still took a club hammer and all of my strength to get it out, started using a smaller drill on the last bolt and it slipped off centre, meaning that im likely to end up with more than half the bolt material still in contact with the frame and castings... this fucker aint letting up without a fight... plus its now raining sideways out there so i have retreated indoors for a cup of tea. check out the blog for more info peeps, the engine WILL be out of the frame before the day is out... failing that it will have to be another all-nighter

Pornography 'nuff said, reminds me of the DT... god i miss that swwet-ass DT of mine

nom.

BUMP Have modified the Blog to be more user friendly, also been scrubbing up a few parts over the xmas period, still need this feckin engine out

Epic win, my backs a bit achey tonight... Apparently, his wife does...

dirty old men... *facepalm* -.-

are there any foolproof ways of checking the coil and condensor? continuity and the such

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&current=DSCF1432.jpg

Peeps, List your states of mind with the appropriate music example: Moby - natural blues = slightly depressed/apathetic KoL - Sex on fire = drunken romantic continue trend as above. Foameh

Glad to hear it all worked out ok jester, that's the reason i have retreated into the safety and comfort of a 4WD for the winter .

Well peeps, the xj has taken a back burner as I am off to out of the country again in february until end of may and then due to move base in september (hence why I need to get the xj on its wheels) Plus I am doing a manual conversion to the mini and fibreglass front end, Aaaaand, I has a new lady in my life ^.^ wub you Laura <3 Managed to get out of work for a couple of hours today and managed to get through about 1\3 of the wiring loom aswell as cleaning up the rear fender and numerous other little bits and bobs Any progress is good right?

Foamehs xmas list 1) 1989 Yamaha DT50MX Reg # G237MYA 2) Givi rack for my pre-div 600 3) Megan Fox, smothered in strawberry love pudding.

not even easy start gets these feckers going, so i have resorted to breaking these ones for spares and just accepting that they are worn out.
