Greetings Neil and

DEP

just a thought though! when someone fitted an elec start engine...did they fit the earlier magneto stator to maintain the status quo for the early ignition system?

Badgers I did 70mph at the 8000rpm redline today 16/49 sprockets

for example, trawl the bike bandit site because they have all the fiches and not only yamaha see this one ere...a 1975 suzuki GT185, inlet still available and only $26...I know it's not the same but theres loads of other fiches to look at? http://www.bikebandi...39633#sch288412

yeah i was thinking about this myself, still ....$115 I'd have carried on thinking for a while Amen

Greetings mike and ...speaking of pics post some up of the trailies then

greetings sam and ... bike looks good fella

sadly no Jason but with another sensor bought seperately and a switch...hell yeah!

she lives!!!!

she's a beaut scott, well done and

check your sidestand switch check it's appearance, tightness, connections and if you have a multimeter check it's function...and wiggle it about to make sure it doesnt affect the reading! Spray it with WD40 pehaps you can try bypassing it by disconnecting it and bridging out the connectors on the loom, if the bike works now you need a new stand switch and i am NOT recommending you should ride with it disconnected until you get another, that one is up to you

:lol:

so are the original spikes broken and missing? (see my signature)

Greetings pinkster, great little bikes arent they,

yes thats an awful lot of money isnt it,

Congrats Ttasky

nahh its the joy of owning an old stroker Jamie...wouldnt have it any other way would we get a few spare plugs in stock and always have one in your jacket pocket with a plug spanner

Greetings Simon and to the forum, we love the old strokers in here

they arent fast by any means, i have seen about 65 on mine but i'm far too sympathetic to keep doing that! cant remember what i have for a front sprocket though it's been on there for so long now!!

fit another and start the bike, switch the fuel off and rev the engine freely to clear the flooded crankcases...when it dies switch on the fuel, then off again and re-start the engine and repeat another couple of times

well then you will find that your carb is over filling check the float height setting check the float needle is free to move maybe before any of this, give the carb a tap with something like the wooden stock of a hammer just in case it jolts something free

did it run well until it cut out?

ok try with the fuel tap switched off until it runs out of fuel

Try it with choke and let us know the result Jamie
