  1. I know, Americans eh. I was first in Queue
  2. will post a hello in the new members section mate, tell us where your from (update your profile too) 3k to 4k is when the pilot goes onto mains and is the transition, also where exup is too. does exup motor turn the valve and its the right way round? Mikunis are buggers for blocking too, may need to be surgically cleaned inside the drillings
  3. maybe worth checking as it a simple procdure. you can check either worn rings (squirting oil in bores and noting the difference) or valves not sealing. I usually let some choke off if it gets too high revs, 2k seems a reasonable self imposed limit on a cold engine. BTW mine started lovely after winter hibernation I drained out the carbs first though
  4. easy, kick it out of gear and turn off the kill switch, Sorted

    1 hit wonder John, don't waste your breath
  6. check back to basics, points are arcing or nothing there. you need 12v to the coils, the poiunts earth to produce the spark
  7. what about float height?
  8. you paying mine too Tommy?
  9. I think you would need to contact Hindle themselves. I have an aftermarket one on mine and dyno'd it. The fuel was too rich so had the drop the needle. I did go up 1 jet size for the K&N filter though
  10. there's not just jets but drillings within float bowl. could be the seals on the butterfly throttle. start bike (eventually) and spray your easy start around the carbs and see if the revs rise, that'll tell you if you have any leaks. could also be water in fuel tank, mine had a shit load in so drained off. Also check filter not clogged with rust particles
  11. Went to the Manchester Bike show today. Got free pass in otherwise it would have been £17 new from Bolton based CCM, their tracker nice Kettle Devoid Of Trouble, Manchester based manufactuer nicely done Brick been a while since I've seen this bike Not really a brough but a copy from 1960 using matchless engine and slimline frame Ice racer Mike wanting a BM cafe racer another small assembler doing trendy bikes

    Allens who are mikuni specialist, NRP carbs, Motocarb. I think it was these I used http://www.chromerestorationspecialist.co.uk/ Did a very good job on the xs downpipes
  13. no idea what you mean by 1.1 etc intakes should be 0.11 - 0.15mm and exhaust 0.16 - 0.20mm cold I suspect carbs, they'll need stripping and vapour blasting then a thorough blasting with carb cleaner and air line. cold start device maybe blocked or letting in air I would suggest getting hold of a haynes or yamaha service manual, they are only £20 timing is set on these but you can advance them by dremel but as you are not even sure regarding valve clearences, i'd leave well alone. 1250rpm is the top idle speed adjustment so your ok there
  14. made me swear out load that one
  15. very nice, looks great to me
