Cum-mon Drewps " scan a piccy of you with long hair ,, from the 19- 70s

Haaaaa " drewps , its more like B.w. jammer. That glesga twang " & fueld up with Buckfast

What about needle height ? and slide . are the located properly, the cable, disconect it , set carb to idle , just aliminate every thing,, pilot jet, are u shure its clear ,,

Well done dave, is it still original bore ??

Very classy cris" love the colour, cummon Drewps" your lagging behind,

Aye DREWPS" Its 3/4 th july , Uttoxeter , and 25th, july, lotherton Hall, will keep in touch nearer the time,,,,

Very clever drewps" now then what has happened to the second edition of Practical Sports bikes ?? shud be out now --no??

Am gonna miss this one drewps, planning Uttoxeter, miss the butty"s too .

Nah merv," i think u"ll be more the denim jacket type [ pure 1970s] Coz we couldna afford a leather

Yeh same here, Sumtimes wave ,but not at high speed,

Aye jammer , was out tday also, was at bike show, 150mls round trip, 12degrees, and thier was flys on visor ,thats warm enuff for me, had my Zed 1000, [1979] pulls like a train, and 100% reliable, more than can say about mates R1, FRONT BRAKE SEIZED ON threw him on road, minor dammage, and just his pride hurt, so only two bikes [ triumph tiger & zed] made the journey, great to be out tho

Another thing is it rubber hoses" , if so swap to stainless braided, the rubber can swell and give a mushy feel,

Sounds like air screw fully closed. backit out 1.5to-2 turns out. alas air filtre, clean it. and The IT400 is pre-mix, 32/1 make shure fuel is good, the reeds help mid-range if all of above is checked, inspect them ,,,,

Sorry to hi-jack your post ,, but many years ago , a mate of mine lost his keys when we were out at night, Now i was an apprentice [ plumber] at time and the journey man showed me a trick. When repairing a central heating boiler, the printed circuit had burned out, so using a pencil he traced the broken circuits, stuck it back on and hey presto it fired up , , So i unscrewed the ignition of mates bike, got a pencil from chinese takaway, penciled in between the solder dots on back of ignition , And walla " the bike fired up , all to the amazment of the disbelievers standing around ,,, Thot u wud like to kno this ,,, you learn every Day

Hi" hard to start ? when hot or cold ? how does it perform ie. tick over - W.O.T.- over-run , any surging ?

Will address this situation ,, wen u gaen to show Sat/sun ?

Braw scenery you" auld bugger", hope to sample some wen down south this year, you"l be puttn miles on that mint example , you liquid cooled rebel you

Very nice , i like the mono-shock set-up , very unusual, when did this design enter the market ? is it on any other models[ makes] ?

Fkn hell davey " thats stunning ,,, love the colour scheme,, .....

Yeah ur right" i never knew there was so many sold in the 70s, i only ever saw one then , & and it was in the bike shop window, [ & we thot it was a Big bike then] never sold big up here, everybody ran two-strokes [ RDs&DTs GTs& TSs, KHs, while on this middle weight subject, does any body mind of the Z400 , , It was pathetic . poor seller, Why make such a bike when u had KH400, /500, Z650.?????

Cheers drewps" that should fill the gap between C.M.Mechanics & classic bike, , your a hive of knowlage"
