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

easy, kick it out of gear and turn off the kill switch, Sorted

1 hit wonder John, don't waste your breath

to the YOC

check back to basics, points are arcing or nothing there. you need 12v to the coils, the poiunts earth to produce the spark

what about float height?

you paying mine too Tommy?

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

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

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

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

made me swear out load that one

very nice, looks great to me

I'll pay pal the dough too, PM your paypal email please?

Pornwall you mean?

yep, camp for me 2 nights everyone?

where's Bevon, Google maps don't want to know

your turn this time John

looks lovely, sound of the river can drown out the screams too

works for me, you'll have to upgrade from dial-up Tommy

checked the fuse? #justsaying
