    Heres your stator Steve Pic showing the orientation of the Electrex source coil Pic showing the filed clearance for the live connection
  2. yes you need a well fitting pipe thats VERY important, you dont want the fluid spilled on the caliper and pads!!! Try the chemists for tube, or car accessory shop
  3. :lol: :lol: :lol:
  4. nice one davie, the site is being rather troublesome eh? got there in the end
  5. get some help a mate doing the nipple and tube in a jar bit pull the lever gently until thes resistance and keep gentle pressure on mate undoes the nipple, the lever pulls to the handlebar...keep it there mate tightens the nipple let the lever out fully REPEAT until no bubbles in tube...keep level topped up

  7. right, I used photobucket there and got the usual image extension failure message the first time. so then I hit the 'More Reply Options' button, and went that route and it worked...try that way for now
  8. it no doubt needs bleeding properly
  9. Greetinga davie and yeah were having all sorts of issues posting from photobucket and the 'big cheese' is missing!
  10. look out for condensation with you starting it and not allowing the engine to get hot...try spraying the stator with some WD40 it wont do any harm

    some good multimeters will measure capacitance by the way...mine will
  14. Way I see it is this, if youve done a search and not found a healthy following in Australia then I'ts hardly worth bothering with...break it and sell as parts?
  15. Airhead replied to kenDAWG's post in a topic in The Bar
    Confused why you drilled the airbox but didnt try washing the filter first?
  16. Airhead replied to welshjoe's post in a topic in The Bar
    so tell us how you checked the compression, what reading did you get?
  17. Airhead replied to welshjoe's post in a topic in The Bar
    Listen joe, I have no idea fella but dont rush into it just yet. Leaving the plug out overnight and then try again tomorrow, preferably with another plug...have you checked it's sparking?
  18. Airhead replied to flyday58's post in a topic in Classics
    yeah you should push gently and you'll feel compression, continue to push gently through the lions share of that compression until you're almost TDC, then give it all youve got and the flywheel will have a bit of momentum as it hits the next compression stroke and so it will help you, I note that you are at some disadvantage though with the left leg fix you're in
  19. Airhead replied to mccarthy61's post in a topic in Yamaha Gallery
    yeah thats nice and the can would benefit from a little stubbying IMO
  20. Airhead replied to Cynic's post in a topic in The Bar
    How about the BMF rally then, lots to see n do there
  21. I wouldnt use that method for 1 the anode isnt anything like big enough, and if it touches the tank it will short out the charger...better in a plastic bath with a seperate steel plate anode IMO
  22. Airhead replied to flyday58's post in a topic in Classics
    Ahhgh ouch oops, yeah but isnt there some timing marks on the rotor and crankcase, these are usually fairly accurate, try a cigarette paper pullout as these line up? I assume the RT3 has a magneto ignition being a dirt bike and all that? Whats your kicking technique then Richard?
  23. Yeah but It's invasive it removes both good and bad, electrolysis only removes bad but of course may leave a poor finish...wont matter in a tank though...hey you'll need a pretty big plastic container to submerge the tank in
