    Greetings and welcome Luke

    another likely culprit is the flywheel rotor has not been torqued up to the required specification and has sheared the woodruff key!

    Greetings andy, congrats on the pass and the nice new bike

    fair enough but you dont need a tacho to 'hear' when a good idle speed is achieved, tacho's are a fairly modern invention and setting idle in pre-tacho days certainly wasnt done by counting turns! Thats why i thought you were referring to the mixture screw which has always been a counting exercise
  10. Airhead
    you could drill the heads off the screws and remove the case that way, once the case is off you will have something to get a hold of with vice grips? 6mm drill
  11. Airhead
    Guessing? you just turn the blighter until the correct idle speed is achieved, nothing to do with number of turns

    how about some strategically placed exhaust wrapping held with a stainless jubilee clip at each end, even if it's an interim fix till you find something ?
  13. Airhead
    for one thing i dont think you know a throttle stop screw from a mixture screw!...no one ever counts turns on a throttle stop screw hey did you run out of fuel, before you do anything pull off the fuel pipe and check you have a good flow of fuel to the carb after that...yeah maybe another carb clean

    Ohh now i see
  22. Airhead
    i did look but drew a blank apart from one that must have sold in the past on ebay!!!
  23. Airhead
    you mustnt have understood what i posted? dark Green and dark Brown become live when the turn switch is operated (depending on which way it is switched) so therefore you cannot ground out these colours or you will blow the fuse! at the lamp wires...you need to find out which color wires are connected to the outer lampholder (not the centre connection),,,and consider all these to be black...wrap some black tape around them and connect to ground or spare black loom connectors

    what's a "boner" sacha? (in my best gollum voice... and off topic)
  25. Airhead
    to have a 'natter' is to have a chat sacha, same as 'chewin the fat' lol
