    Oy! leave my "eyebrow" alone. I did me best and tried to put it into some sort of shape the girls at school thought it was good.
  3. wow. too much info. not sure where to start now! FIRST GET A MANUAL its more or less the same as the 250/400 models 1) those are a home made ignition modules in the tail. Quite cool looking but not very reliable hanging out like that easy to get moisture in there. they are probably contact triggered as you still have the contacts. 2) as to carbs, its the passage ways you need to clean and I don't mean a quick blow job. more info here http://www.xs400.com/tech.php 3) the head steady on top of the engine looks fitted correctly http://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?depth=1&hl=en&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dhttp://xs400.net/wb/pages/technik-faq/motor.php%26safe%3Doff%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26hs%3DlLG%26rls%3Dorg.mozilla:en-US:official&rurl=translate.google.co.uk&sl=de&u=http://xs400.net/wb/pages/technik-faq/motor/obere-motorhalterung-bei-2a2-und-4g5.php&usg=ALkJrhhb0rbKJpDjB6lygjwPGNEWH-L06g you cannot just change the cam cover, its line bored with the head with matching numbers on the back stamped on them. you can get it ally welded though fairly cheaply 4) try swapping the orange and grey wires to the HT coils, many peeps get it wrong and the firing order is then 180' out you have the largest vintage M/C supply company in Holland CMSNL, has loads of spares.

    same here and my son soon followed when he realised that PC's can do lots of other things.
  12. VERY IMPORTANT INFO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We have had to make a change to the route of our Toy Run. We are no longer riding to The Lowry Centre. Due to police restrictions we are not allowed to ride there. We are leaving Tesco as arranged and riding to Together Trust in Cheadle where we will leave all the toys. Rainbow Family Trust will collect their share from there. We are unable to ride to Rainbow Family Trust as they have extensive building work on and there is just no room for all the bikes. We hope you will still join us though, thanks for your support xx same excuse as last year, something fishy going on

  17. invest in a puller. you will need to take it off a few times anyway. with the gilera, i was lucky, a shimano front chainset puller fitted. any banging or claw pullers will demagnetise the mag
