Does anyone know the jetting that will cure the pinging of my engine, I have a Clack in the engine when blipping the engine from idle to 3/4 throttle

Many thanks

Try checking first if you have any splits in the inlet manifold rubber or if its loose even - as if you have an issue here then the high rpm will suck in air and weak off the mixture. Fix problem rapido if found as I had this occur on a bike of mine and it nipped up =
Just got home and settled after today's Spen Valley Trial at Home Farm. Just had to say what a great trial, well layed out with sensible and varied sections. Looked to be an excellent turn out too 70 plus?? - with plenty of positive reaction and comments at the end. Well done to all involved in orgainising this event today!
Big thanks also to Andy Judson @ Pennine Trialsport for the loan of the 'Orange one' really impressed.
Martin - I'll have you next time out
If Spen Valley can repeat todays success in future events then happy day's are here again.
You should be aware that the IGN & SCOTT are TIME and observation so the empasis is on SPEED between sections and in a lot of cases just blast through the sections with only a cursory look or not before hand!(so to save even more precious time)
Where as the Scottish & Jefferies are not marked on time so is more sedate run round the sections. You are still on a time limit for the day - but it's adequate to allow you to stop and walk / inspect / watch each section.
At the Scottish you are able to stop your time clock if there is delay at 'busy' or difficult sections where you would loose odles of time waiting your turn in the queue.
My tip - make sure you are fit as possible before tackling any time and observation events or the Scottish ! That way you will get max enjoyment from it !

Don't forget to ask Leigh, Martin or Ian about the final section. This is usually in a local pub, they are a very sociable bunch of lads. In the pub they will teach you all the excuses as to why marks are dropped, they are experts at it!!! lol
So who has the most hollow legs then Andy? It was always either me or Wrighty
really appreciate all of the comments, when i get there ill have a walk around and get talking to a few folk haha iv downloaded the acu fcrm, so should i just bring this with me along with all the fees? also the trials starts at 1....does this mean everyone has to go in number order ect, or will i have chance to go and look at the other lads ride the sections before i start my "voyage" haha
cheers, nath
Just bring along what forms you have got - you will need to join the club to ride this and future trials (one fee only) then the fee per event. whoever is taking the entries will talk you through whats needed. (possibly it'll be Steve Smithies)
The trial will start at 1(ish) - ride out to the first section for you and watch the first bikes through take notice of the riders on your route dont be afraid to ask advice (what gear to use or which line to take etc) and walk the section so you know where you want to ride, repeat this for each section on the first lap then the remaining laps you usually just arrive gather yourself and ride ( but do check out on foot if not sure or forgot)
Dont miss any sections out !!!!!
You dont ride in any rider numerical order. (but you do ride the sections in numerical order)You will find that an order of queueing usually prevails (chance to chat to other riders)
Hey - The lads who set out for Spen Trials are a great bunch and always aim to provide good rideable sections.The easy route is deffo the way to go for starters. As Leigh previously said just watch others and learn - but dont drop too far behind !
You'll have great fun and Home Farm is a great venue your sure to enjoy.
Hope to be riding myself so will keep an eye out for ya !
Bet you have a grin like a cheshire cat on your face at the end but you'll be a little tired !
Yesterday, despite being in the process of re-fitting their local store here and having no stock at all, they organised the collection today from Romford of 2 cans of chain lube and the hand delivery to my door just now. How's that for service?
Credit where it's due. They were some of the nicest, most can-do bunch of people it's been my pleasure to meet recently. And they followed through with what they promised to do. Bunch of stars.
I say it's always "WURTH" dealing with reputable companies !
splleing is ovreated anwyay becuase teh huamn brian can figrue out waht yuo are triyng to say as long as teh fisrt and last letetrs are in teh rihgt plcae..
hahaha reminds me of that voice that was used often on Monty Python's Flying Circus.
Hey Hey........Have not seen one of those for a while ........Rode (and finished) the Scottish on one of those in 1991
Probably the worst (potential) choice of bike I could have made. Anyone remember how wet it was that year ? Swollen rivers etc etc The carb on the 311 was a B!tch to get at. Just glad I avoided drowning it ! Saw loads of guys with carbs off and bikes upside down getting the H2O out.
Hello I'm Ben 26 from bd12 anyone know anywhere good to ride around here. Just got a scorpa 2006 and will be ready to hit the dirt in a couple of week!!
Hi Ben - Welcome to the Great world of Trials. My tip is to get yourself down to the next Spen Valley Novice and beginner Trial. See www.spenvalleytrials.co.uk for details - you'll have great fun and be able to ride at varied areas where you can ride LEGALLY among a very friendly bunch of wobblers !
