Hi muppet, I would guess the pilot screw should be around 1.5 turns out from gently closed (all the way in), failing that I would be having a look at clearing the pilot jet. Hey I was kinda hoping to see some pics now you have finished it

Greetings texasfisherdude

Happy birthday Mike

Greetings mishkins Good luck with the test.

You should wait until you are fully legal and stop using it, you know it makes sense

Hi feel free to post your intro in the new members section. It is unlikely that the crank seals are still viable after all this time. ...Paul

Thats a tidy little scoot Liam with some nice little upgrades. Can you ride it at only 15 in SA then?

Haynes workshop manuals have wiring diagrams, as for HT leads they are an integral part of the ignition coil and are not supposed to be taken out and changed although it has been done before. More commonly if the internal thread is stripped at the plug cap end you may be able to cut off 20mm of the length and screw back into fresh lead?

what is a VIN report ?

As far as I can remember the battery neg does not go directly to the regulator, there is a double bullet plug and socket between. The battery uses one connector and the regulator uses the other, they sit around the rear brake switch area. The reg has a small fly lead with a ring terminal one end and a plug at the other end, There is a definite grounding point under one of the ignition coil mounts.

Coming on nicely Paul, two things spring to mind though That rad looks awfully vulnerable exposed to the throw from the front tyre? That silencer is crying out for stubby'ising

Greetings belltown well I guess the states is the best place to source parts for these old old bikes

Not worth the hassle mate, it would be a feat of engineering not to be tackled unless you have good skills and resources such as welding machining wiring etc etc...It's a no from me

Greetings Mike...same age...same bike Your girl married well

Greetings John how about a pic of the old XS?

Greetings gadget and he's a lucky lad having a dad like you eh

Yeah it has to be better direct to frame but having said that, I've not had any issues to speak of.

Yes mate, thats how mine is and all the early bikes.

Greetings Joe

WTF

Dont forget there are two versions Jason, the early bike has the regulator on a bracket attached to the plastic airbox assy, therefore it has a black lead behind a mounting screw and then into a loom socket. Paul...make sure you are looking at the correct wiring diagram if yours is a later bike with square swing arm, one of the haynes manuals doesnt have a diagram for these later models

Some cracking one liners My neighbour knocked on my door at 2:30am this morning, can you believe that 2:30am?! Luckily for him I was still up playing my Bagpipes. I sat on the train this morning opposite a stunning Thai girl. I kept thinking to myself, please don't get an erection, please don't get an erection...but she did. The Grim Reaper came for me last night, and I beat him off with a vacuum cleaner.F**k me, talk about Dyson with death. Did you hear about the fat alcoholic transvestite?All he wanted to do was eat, drink and be Mary. Two friends are fishing near a bridge.Suddenly a Hearse and two Funeral Cars go over the bridge so one of the men stands up, takes off his cap and bows his head. When the cars have gone he puts his cap back on, sits back down and carries on fishing. His mate turns to him and says," Dave, that's one of the nicest most respectful things I've ever seen. " Dave replies," Well we were married for nearly 20 years " Paddy says "Mick, I'm thinking of buying a Labrador . "f**k that" says Mick "have you seen how many of their owners go blind" Man calls 999 and says "I think my wife is dead." The operator says ” how do you know”? He says "The sex is the same but the ironing is building up! I was in bed with a blind girl last night and she said that I had the biggest p*n*s she had ever laid her hands on. I said "You're pulling my leg" I've just had a letter back from Screwfix. They said they regretted to inform me that they're not actually a dating agency. A man walks into a Welsh pub and orders a white wine spritzer. The bar goes silent as everyone stares at him. "Where are you from? You sound English", "I'm from across the Severn ," replies the man nervously."What do you do, just across the Severn ?", "I'm a taxidermist." "What on earth is one of those?". "I mount animals." "Its alright boys," shouts the barman he's one of us. Spent £40 on eBay last week for a p*n*s enlarger. Just opened it and some bastard's sent me a magnifying glass! I saw a poor old lady fall over today on the ice!! At least I presume she was poor - she only had £1.20 in her purse. My girlfriend thinks that I'm a stalker. Well, she's not exactly my girlfriend yet. I woke up last night to find the ghost of Gloria Gaynor standing at the foot of my bed. At first I was afraid.......then I was petrified. What's the difference between Iron Man and Iron Woman? One's a superhero and the other is an instruction. An old lady is being examined by the Dr. He asks have you ever been bedridden? She says “yes I have, and I've been table ended and backskuttled a few times too!” Went for my routine check up today and everything seemed to be going fine until he stuck his index finger up my arse! Do you think I should change Dentists? A wife says to her husband “you're always pushing me around and talking behind my back.” He says “what do you expect? You’re in a wheel chair. “ I was explaining to my wife last night that when you die you get reincarnated, but must come back as a different creature. She said “ I would like to come back as a cow.” “ I said you’re obviously not f--k--g listening.” Under new E.U. law the word "gypo" is no longer politically correct. They have to be called (caravan utilising nomadic travelers) or C.*.N.T.S. for short. Doctors have just identified a food that can cause grief and suffering years after it's been eaten. It's called a wedding cake. I was in the pub with my wife last night and I said “ I love you.” She said “ Is that you or the beer talking” ? I replied “ it's me talking to the beer.” The wife has been missing a week now. Police said to prepare for the worst. So I have been to the charity shop to get all her clothes back. Hi mate I don't want you to panic but I'm texting you from the casualty. Turns out the new Dyson Ball cleaner isn't what I thought it was

Great day for it John, hows CBD then ?

Greetings Jay
