He's only 16 Gas...a bit to learn...too many hormones and all

Wow, your'e my new hero...Who'd have thought it...what a guy...what a bike. Well done Dave

How did the bike fare, c'mon tell us

Turn the engine using the kickstart until the points are at the widest gap. Adjust this gap to the correct one in the haynes book. now set the engine to the correct place for the ignition (see your haynes manual) Place a cigarette paper between the points. loosen the screws holding the points backplate and turn the whole thing while pulling gently on the cigarette paper. You will find that at some position the points will begin to open and the paper will be free. Tighten the backplate screws in this position Job done Least thats what I used to do when i were a lad

Hey Jude...Welcome to the forum

Does your Haynes book not cover it?

Very nice job Dan, take care on it especially when you cant see what's coming.

Theres a lot more than royalty ride horses, usually women, mums wives girlfriends daughters I think you get my point

Dont drop a gear when passing horses, roll off the throttle and give a wide berth, it's no fun being on a startled horse I've done it. give me a bike any day. Take a chill pill young Derek

Youre mad

Hmmm Emzed...wonder where he went!

? I dont think so, unless someone had it completely upside down, that would not be a restriction per-se, just incompetence

Thats what dads are for keep a check on that oil now Em

Then yours can not be restricted at the PV.

Welcome to the YOC forum Derek, Its good to see young un's interested in old bikes.

Welcome Dave from France. And I always thought the belgrada was a fast unrestricted version, that just goes to show what I know about TZR's

is the point gap and timing set right?

ok fit new points and condenser, adjust the point gap as per spec and time it as will be in the haynes book. Hopefully that will fix it.

About 75 at its fastest maybe a touch more. The clock tops out at 80

Well have a good old read of the haynes book, see if it mentions the auto advance, a giveaway will be if you can twist the points cam back and forth, that will mean it does have one (unless its siezed up, then you might not be able to tell) anyway i'm sure there will be a pic in the haynes book, basically all it does is throw some bob weights outward as the engine speed increases, in turn the movement of these weights turns the points cam which advances the ignition timing. as revs fall springs pull the weights back in and the timing retards again. is that clear

Right thats not good, you should fit new points and another new condensor. I dont know the bikes make-up. Has it got a auto spark advance fitted, theses can easily sieze up and be stuck in one place...or on the other hand they can wear and this usually means they will be too advanced at low revs. Has it got one? Have you got a Haynes book? Can you fit new points and time the bike? Can you tell if it has an auto advance and whether it is working correctly?

Have a look at the points, are they burned and pitted? Are they sparking when the bike is running?
