Airhead

OT found some more pics today OT and me drewpy and mike

1, pickup must be within the spec tolerances 2. Sometimes a faulty pickup will open circuit as temperature rises so when engine hot, spark is lost

yeah if that what the manual says just check it and check it again at the exact time the ignition cuts out

Thanks for that John, its actually a DT175E one wrongly? listed...perhaps its the same as ours though

hmm dismantling the CDI is risky...what if it isnt that?, could it be the pickup sensor...I dunno really

chances are that the next one up would do it i would think

you should do a compression test Adam

From a goldwing forum "Derek Hayward, a professional photographer, took lots of pictures of the recent 2011 Manchester Salvation Army Toy Run of which this is an example. You can view on his website by clicking here. You can also purchase higher resolution images from Derek by contacting him using the phone number at the bottom of the page of photos." Yup were on there all of us you can buy a high resolution print if you want...A4 or bigger Check out drewpy he's wondering where his oil pressure has gone !

for now just check all connectors are clean and bright on the CDI, the coil, coil ground etc etc

Ooh be careful how hot Pat, i've heard that the concave end of the can can suddenly become a convex end with that method, make it warm water perhaps?

Nice intro FAE, welcome, enjoy your stay and feel free to post any long wnded stuff you feel appropriate, all help and knowlege is good eh?

Right then so, I was going to rebuild my own and just buy the spokes but in the end it just didnt seem worth the bother for the price and had them done at Manchester Xtreme However I did take a few pictures for reference and to order the correct length and type of spokes. I took pictures for example this and then when I stripped the wheels I could bundle up the spokes and label them with the colours code i chose and order the spokes accordingly, take care about the amount of bend at the end of the spoke, I frogot now but it relates to inner/outer variants...BTW i tend to use paint.net to re size, edit and alter photos like this, its quite good and free before disassembly make a note of the measurement from rim to brake hub...I did a PDF drawing to give the builder, if you want Alan I'll send you it and you can check yours and amend it if necessary and enclose a copy with your parcel BTW mine still came back not to that PDF which was a bit annoying but an easy fix with just slackening all the spokes one side then tightening the other side by the same amount so also enclose a threatening letter...sure mention me! something to consider and make note of is which side of the hub is the rim info on, note this before disassembly and tell your builder to do it that way, I assume you'd want to do that so you would do this for each side of both wheels using different colour codes for all the spokes Hubs...dont bother stripping off sound paint, leave it as a primer, just rub it down with scotchbrite to key it, all other flaking and corroded areas strip smooth and prime. Top coat... well I used PJ1 satin but can you still get this stuff? I would NOT recommend powder coating, I know to my cost! Rims, clean all rust as far as possible and prime with zinc rich primer before building

thats why I asked, nows the time to do it as its best done with no spokes, want to see more pics?

congrats 'DirtyDT' must be a great feeling, start her early...buy Pats mini bike

is your hub finish good enough NEO ?,

nice intro Rick lets see the bikes then

Oohh that dosnt sound good mate, maybe a new pump? Enjoyed the day fellas, especially the nice weather eh heres some pics... Kev (up yours) and Carol (Xmas Carol) Drewpy on the magnificent tracker, what a nice bike and Oh what a sound Drewpy, OldTimer and Mike (Drewpys mate) at Trafford Centre Me 'n' Rudolph S'pose thats about it then for this year

I would get a new ignition coi / coils if you can kelum sounds to me that yours have 'had their day' the test is usualy checking the coil resistances both LT coil and HT coil, LT is the (orange?) to ground, and HT is end of HT lead to ground (possibly with cap removed) the problem is...knowing the spec figures . That will be in the manual?

wheres all that rust gone, them stancheons have come up well, you conna drop a bit of oil in the forks just to keep them lubed?
