    Welcome to the 'Ward' Arron, hope you enjoy your stay, have you ordered your 'patch' yet

    Kin Ell mate ! !, never mind the bike glad your still in one piece Merv , hope the drongo stopped to assist and give details etc, your gonna be driven up the wall with boredom alright-I've got lots of old jig saws and wordsearch books(some aren't completed) I could send those down to you ?
  3. Are ya sure you've got this bit right ?
  4. Give it a good high revving thrash-check oil level before you go out ! ! ! , and keep us posted Oh and treat yourself to one of these as a kind of personal reward
  5. Heres the only clip of 'plinnygas' - not paying attention, he's standing behind me unwrapping a 'Werthers Original' in his pocket, and nearly gets caught
  6. With the fuel pipe off the tap-when its on PURGE the fuel will piss out
  7. This is the TPS
  8. Ok, step 1-charge the battery step 2-turn the petrol tap to 'purge' (ON, RESERVE and PURGE are the 3 settings on the divvy) step 3-after the battery is charged-try it, then come back on and tell us whats happening
  9. I wouldn't be that hasty Dennis, you can alter the mix screws with the carbs intact on the bike-its tight but can be done, I dont think thats your problem anyway-they''re factory set and if they did 'go out' it would only be by a tiny amount, have you checked your TPS setting ?

    Does this mean you have access to latex ? Well done Goff-mines is a shandy mind
  13. your names not Trevor is it ?
  14. Yep, a very faint 'craic' is all you would hear if one of those 'ding-dings' stood up from stooping under their trucks !
  15. The gold pinstriping on the tank says its an Enfield 500 bullet
  16. barkwindjammer replied to Vez's post in a topic in Yamaha Workshop
    No probs Vez-like I said google for winders in your area-it needs the right guage of wire and the right number of turnings-very cheap to have it done by experts, but if you insist on 'having a go' let us know how you got on
  17. A Harry Enfield is my guess
  18. barkwindjammer replied to Vez's post in a topic in Yamaha Workshop
    EDIT, its not Ohms sorry its DC, ohms is resistance, best thing to do Vez is get one of them 9v square batteries, place your fingers from your left hand(index and middle) onto the commutator then touch the two posts of the battery onto your tongue (this being a very low voltage is perfectly safe)-you should feel a slight 'tingle' ?
  19. barkwindjammer replied to Vez's post in a topic in Yamaha Workshop
    Yep its fucked-going by that pic google motor winders I bet you find one in your area who will probably do a teency wee job like this for beer money, it takes skill to get the right number of winds on the rotor
  20. barkwindjammer replied to Vez's post in a topic in Yamaha Workshop
    Each 'bundle' of winds-and there are 3 on that core on your pic Vez is energised one at a time, on the 'commutator' the copper bush type thing there are 3 sections-each split into 3 segments, put a testers 'probes' on the 'outside' edge of these 'segments', you should get a 'continuity' with the symbol Omega selected on the tester-when your on the right setting touching the two probes on the tester will show a small voltage its 1 continous wire wound round the 3 segments
  21. Can anyone ID the bike from the headlight cluster ? Blackhat250 will give you a shot of Glayva at Squires next year if ye win
  22. Wijjy mean yet?, it was here when we left and was still there when we got back-must have dropped 10C round a bout the borders-of course blackie and 2Wheels wouldn't have known that going mach 2 with the tunes blaring, just had a lightning storm pass over head bout an hour ago-left some spectacular 'mushroom cloud' type clouds in its wake-what was it Blackie said at Squires "Aye fuk me, its like fukin Spain"
  23. Good evening your Lordship, how are we this evening?
  24. barkwindjammer replied to barkwindjammer's post in a topic in The Bar
    You need a daft wooly hat to 'look' the part Goff-thats not really you is it
