Never seen one with a hole in like that, but it looks like its installed correctly (hard to tell from a picture)

nothing wrong with putoline, like you say it probably needs a good run

shouldn't smoke at 50:1 that's what I run my gasser on and its smoke free I use Silkolene Comp2 or Castrol TTS with very little smoke

would it fit in if you dropped the handle bars?

If you want expect it to perform like a TY then you will be disappointed, they are very different to modern(ish) trials bikes! Power weight and handling are all very different .

GG Water pump impellers have a habit of failing, might be worth checking (new ones £10 on ebay) The water will boil with the cap removed, that’s why it’s pressurised to stop it boiling Its not a sealed pump, 3 cap screws hold it together

Inflate with helium? Not too much though, or the bike might float off

I run ATF (dexron II) in my gasgas and it works well

the frames been rusty as well, its just had the rust polished off! and what's going on with the kick start!?!?!

The bargain days are over, someone has one on ebay for nearly 5k… I bought a very nice one in 2009 for £400 and another in 2012 for £800

Drain it and start with fresh fluids

That's total BS! I’ve observed for years and only ever had one incident, and that was a minor one!

And how often do they observe?

That’s total rubbish, and why would you even bring up the subject on a trials forum!

Can’t really see the need for ABS on an horse, but some EU bureaucrat as probably proposed it..

But don’t expect too much help from our government!

It wouldn’t be difficult to manufacture a replacement mudguard for the correct number plate, but how many people would actually buy one! I can really see the DVLA changing the size of digits for trials riders…

How much !?!?! The Airbox is missing, and the rear shocks don't look good?

Don’t think the Greeves ever was available? I quite fancy a new TRS

keep your eye on Penkridge trials club, they do practice days

what head is fitted D7, D14, B175, Todd? B7ES plug & 30:1 Oil? like brownie001 says, depends on mods

Thank you

What weight fork oil do you use in your Marzocchi forks?

Try Central Wheels, they sell spoke kits for all wheels I did a Gas Gas wheel and it cost about £40 for spokes & nipples

If you are going to change the engine and convert it to twinshock why not just buy a TY and save yourself some work and money?
