well I had it off today (ooh vicar) took all the plates off and put them back in. the new springs were about 5mm longer and da daaa, it all fits in nice and tight. probably it was the springs not putting enough tension on the plates, even though it wasn't slipping before hand! managed to set the float heights and a quick test on the bike and it purrs on tick-over, no nasty rattly noises and revs cleanly too. now i have to get new fuel tap rubber and gasket as it pisses out of there, being removed for epoxy tank lining. nearing the end of the tunnel now thanks guys for your input as it does help putting things into perspective. new order for bits to yamaha and that should be it

Gonna have to get your act together Newman to beat this chap the Kebab Master... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9tDLiiQWfDg

no its not that, i never got that far. the inner hub is spinning even with the clutch hub bolts tightened up it can't be the oil gear as the back of the basket has to rest on the bearing, not the gear. I'll find out tomorrow when I have the time (and hopefully the weather)

say you'll build a log cabin, that should be a goer

Slice, just get another bike the same colour. The missus won't notice the change the wife has only just realised I have an fz600 as it was red and the xs was red.

what helmet is that Slice?

good luck

I'm sure the oil drive is correct and trawling the internet, they back that up. After all the gear meshes with the oil pump and the basket meshes with the stater pinion too. what doesn't add up is the # 5 slots along the shaft then it's left over a smooth shaft area and becomes loose because of it. I wonder if the inner hub goes on first and then #5 which will take up the slack mentioned. Diagrams have been known to be wrong before!

Tomos were sold by Grattons and kay catalogues I think Woolies sold them too

that's the hard part, waiting for parts. especially when you want to get in it!

Its supposed to be a tune (abhet japanese) I'll get Elvis to rev his bike to a lullaby tune

you should bring your jaw harp Kev

£1,300 price tag though for a bit of retro http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Tomos-Classic-XL-50cc-Moped-Brand-New-in-Stock-/251323313386?pt=UK_Motorcycles&hash=item3a84096cea

fitted the shim today and all the valves are now in spec. rebuilt the carbs ( they were pretty clean TBH) and just need to set float heights and fit. then sat sort the blinking clutch out after the new springs arrive just had an epiphany moment, the plates all fit on the inner hub and really has nothing to do with the basket at all apart from the fingers slotting in there.

that's the one

should be great, hope to see you all there

even foamy gets in on the act

I use an alarm battery on the tracker and so far its held up. not too fussed though as it was only £7

to the YOC

serviced it yet? fuel filter between tank and carb?

USA, where can you street drag in the uk?

handlebar glue? I use hairspray

just bought 5 bolts for my clutch from Yamaha, £3.20 for 5.

same thing happened to me on the CX500 gunning it with a Gt500, right on the racing line and too fast to react, luckily I straightened up briefly and carried on abet with brown skids!
