Greetings Nigel, better late than never, I only wasted 13 years Hey we're neighbours

I assume there will be an electric cable and sensor attached to the wheel hub, is there...is damaged? Thats about all I can suggest

Greetings, nice little trail iron

Please dont double post the same problems, it works better to have all your answers in one place and it's easier for anyone willing to help to follow the progress, i'm locking this one

Hey mate did you know we have a new members forum where you can post an introduction ...that would be great Try squirting a little gas down the sparkplug hole, this sometimes works but you didnt say whether the plug is getting wet?

a few points here The rings are different, the top one has a 'keystone' profile section (it's thinner on the inside circumference than the outside circumference...this on goes into the top groove The other ring is flat in Its profile section, this one goes into the bottom groove but first put in the little springy thing so that the ends are either side of the locating peg You'll notice that the rings have a shape ground into the ends so that they fit correctly around the locating pegs

Greetings nedadrian, like your choices fella how about ?

It's a 1979 DT50F Larry

well given there's no batterys in it I'd say you're on the right track, a simple continuity check with a multimeter would confirm it

Greetings Jimi, there will no doubt be a fuse near to the battery, you might check that and the holder?

it's not an emergency light is it, those ones light up when power is removed...well they do until the battery runs out!

you sure it's not the flasher relay that's buzzing?

yeah get it adjusted right and check the nipple at the engine is seated properly

Maybe the clutch isnt engaging, you should have around 10mm free play at the end of the lever

did you check the front sprocket is secure?

Greetings Mark, nice intro

Only ever used rattle cans mate, most of the prep will be common sense...rubbing down...de greasing...masking...priming etc etc

vibration...loose connection somewhere?

yes..use what you have

To check the seal on the magneto side Start the engine and get it idling about 2000rpm using the throttle stop adjutment screw. Can of WD40 with a straw attached, direct a sray jet through the slots on the magneto rotor aiming towards where the seal will be. Listen for any change at all in the way the engine is running or change in idle speed. Any change of course indicates a bad seal A nice easy check

could be, do you know how to do a quick n easy test of that?

yes we get the picture mate

see what you mean mate, those clocks are dreadful !

Greetings Ian
