A few of us are on facebook welcome to the 21st centry

not sure what I'm doing yet. only would have just got back with Tommy from the IOM ManxGP. I'll have to let you know thursday

are the carbs' choke a lever or a pull to operate? I assume it eventually starts but how? fires on 1 cyl and then 2 chimes in or does it get straight to it? I'd suggest looking at your timing first, that's clean contacts, contacts gap, take off left cover and find LF to check ignition timing. (even better use a strobe) and check RF timing if the bike has had a 400 barrel and head on, the carbs will have had the mains and pilot jets increased so you need to check if they have the correct ones for the 120 and also check the needle position and type. that'll do for starters

to the YOC

ignore them Slice,spambot invasion. unless you like a trojan on your PC don't open them

try a2 a4 fixings, good website and the cheapest I've been to. no kits but I'm sure you can use a vernier caliper

you produce wet ones..... from your arse

oh no., that means its gonna start raining

showers? what are those?

Had a great day out with Tommy XS. There was quality bikes on show and lots of them. Food great and very friendly peeps there. Met a few guys off aircooled forum and the RDLC forum too. Tommy chatted up a dog pace bike for cyclists talked to the organiser and he brought this one for Lassy

its called VHT (very high temperature) Paint the crinkle finish paint is from Frost £10 and I recommend PJ1 off ebay, its expensive but is the best finish out of all the paints and doesn't need a primer. bake it afterwards (or run engine) to cure it.

well its more or less done, engine turns over and electrics seem to work. couldn't really do that much today as it persisted it down. So next job is to prime the engine, run a temp fuel line and fire her up/balance the carbs need to relocate the horn and do a bit of snagging and then tax her and MOT is due end August.

weathers ok for tomorrow too

cheers Ray, but off the the Bhurtpore inn VJMC show tomorrow in Shropshire

ouch, noticed a few bits got past my goggles, not sure how either.

tend to either through straight through Manchester or hit the motorway for a short while. cheshire is best, straight down the A57 over warburton bridge into cheshire and then you have Wales, Shropshire etc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zk_puqvNjqU#t=96 live not far from the swingbridge

shit happens.

shit, you sussed me

see, told you you were famous

the main issues doing the old way for me was that when it dried, it was very brittle. Plastitech stays flexible.

I love local history and know quite a bit about the area of Eccles and surrounds.

Aye the A6 still have names like London road. went that way to pick up the paint from Derby, as you say its always a beautiful area. I live not far from Trafford park just over the Ally O' (ship canal)

nice one just one more thought. the cause of the TCI going could be a faulty reg/rec check the charging on the battery with the engine running,it should be no more than 14.5 volts @ 3k revs could be why you had 18v to the coils

that looks sweet, just need the weather now
