have you checked the gap between camshaft and head/cover? sounds like they are worn, maybe due to worn oil pump not providing enough pressure!!

that'll be foamy in the background

Yep, rear is 2.15 and I have a 4:00 tyre for that, but I needing a couple of rubber bungs tp fill in the rim-lock holes

I'd check out her cream buns first!!

go to www.triple-s.co.uk

roger decosta was a 70's scramble superstar (motocross its called now) he had these amazing boots with chromed shin pads and toe tips on his boots. All the Goths ended up wearing them though just done a google and there's nothing on the guy except a painting, wierd!

no idea, its protecting it at the mo' till its nearly finished ,than I'm going to clean it off!!

done drewps

you can get any thing to fit if you really want it bad. the bigger bikes run 19" on front and 18" on rear I've just put a 3:50 tyre on my flat tracker front and it looks funky chunky!! and on a 1.85 rim

I took the cap off my sparkie to run on 1 cylinder ( for testing) and the bugger zapped me. Me being the easiest way to earth check the caps are screwed on tight and in the HT lead centre. I can touch my leads with the plugs attached and not get a belt.

to the forum and many happy smiles on your new steed

Tim, I'd check that the breather hose (rear of engine, behind the starter cover) is not kinked or blocked, this releases the pressure from the gearbox/crank area and the cam chain shaft (which goes into the rocker box). If that is clear then you will need to do a pressure test as this would be the easiest thing to do next. let us know how you get on drewps

was it a good show OG? the heaton one was Ok'ish ( too new methinks) might go to that, next year

what about toothpaste? Not tried it, so not guaranteed

nice jawa at heaton park

cakes go hard when old, biscuits go soft when old Barkwind, whats with the blue twig in your avatar?

cool, whatever happened to deCosta boots? og will remember those

I'd say fleabay or craigs list

get the battery charged forst and you may be ok!, my newish battery lasted 2 months and gave up. This made the bike run crap!! So now I always buy a decent named battery. drewps

no, you peg a top trumps card into the spokes and put those free kelloggs spoke beads on. and don't forget the tassles in the bar ends

that young guy who 1st sits down is gotta be foamy! he'll try anything, even for a banana!!

this bike is the one Foamy gets all "foamed" up about. spoke wheels, yamaha yellow, two stroke, ape bars chopper styling etc etc what is it? raleigh wisp engine, chopper frame with chipper rear wheel AWSOME!!

small update, got my tyres, but need a bung for the rear rim to finish that off. I have 2 weeks off starting next week so i'm gonna finish off those carbs and do the wiring and hopefully fit the new rear wheel.
