  1. probably needs to warm up, give it an Italian service. leave the pet cock on the on position as its vacuum operated and only flows petrol when the engine turns over!

  12. those weights sound too light for me and the contra spring, is that lighter than standard?
  13. can you get it rewound if the winding's gone?

  16. cracking film set in Yorkshire in 1955, for thing motorcycle. particulary like the Banbury run and "young jeffries" getting a smack round the 'ead from his mum for stepping in front of the competitors. http://www.yfaonline...eyword&start=31

  19. hey John, can look for some Gilera touring forks and wheels will ya, before the hoy pollloy get in.?
  20. you have to match the variators to the engine power. have you changed the contra spring? red seems to be the way to go to maintain the top speed. I'd also do a plug chop with the new spannie. 6.5 grams seems to be the optimum roller weight, and check belt for fraying/slipping
  21. wow, that's cool
  22. sounds like a new brit flick story starring Renee Zellweger!!
  23. so you have a dohc bike then (maxim or seca) they don't have kick starters I thought kickstand was a kickstarter (we call them side stands) as for exhaust gaskets, easy enough to replace, its getting the old on out of its home. (use a pick) drewps
  24. sounds like a good plan
  25. loved the story of how his father at 70 + years old, took a ducati to 160 kph (100 mph) and said it took a long time to get to the ton, when in fact it was recalibrated to MPH, so he was doing 160 mph on the Alton bypass!!
