Carb Probs....still!
Honestly Gaz, I sent my PM to you before scraggydog64 sreply was posted??!! It reads like a carbon copy. I think this could be the answer? I don't know if it's the same thing but I had problems with my 05 290 intermittently running very low at low revs. It went for ages, constantly stripping the carb down, replaced all of the gaskets and seals in the carb, reed valves, rubbers etc. At the end of the day it was the crankshaft oil seals. The bike hadn't done a lot of work but the play in the main bearings caused the oil seals to wear letting in too much air therefore running lean. Apparently Shercos have poor quality main bearings. Hope you find an easier fix but thats what cured mine.

Non-flying Montesa
Here's a bit of a pointless challenge:- I bet Colly would have won on his Gasser.

Mont 315 Flat Spot
Or you could do what I did( lazy style) with my Mont, open the airbox drain then go straight to the main jet. This sits in the brass bolt that holds the bottom of your carb' bowl up. I think there is just enough room to remove it without disturbing the carb' (don't let the bowl itself drop). There is usually a droplet of water in that brass bolt which interferes with the main jet when you open the throttle above idle...blow it out (lung power will do). Enjoy

What's The Deal With
Ok TC people, it looks like we are amassing a nice 'dossier' of uncomfortable questions for Andy to ask Xispa on our behalf: Are your parts suppliers abiding by the Kyoto agreement and offering their workers a fair wage? Are your parts suppliers providing clean ,safe working conditions for their workers? Are your parts suppliers breaching any 'Intelectual copyrights'? Somehow I don't think any of us will be asking these sort of questions if the quality is ok and the price is low. While we're all sumising ,can some of the more technical people out there guess the layout of that new engine? e.g. Why would you put that sight glass in harms way at the leading edge of the clutch cover ? Andy,can you ask if I can have a free promotional biro please, Ta. Wayne

Don't panic..as The Hitchhikers Guide or Clive Dunn might say, from what I can recall from the last out-break,F+M is neutralised by warm temperatures and Uv light..our mild summers are enough to do the trick. PMA.

Flood Aid?
Lads..when you have made your decision here is your next contact:- British red cross floods appeal My family have a direct involvement in The Saharawan aid trust so I 'KNOW' that not ALL aid donations/appeals are milked,mis-guided or mis-appropriated. The Saharawans are some of the most resourceful people you could meet ( you wanna see them fix a 30 year old Land Rover in the desert). Try YouTube.... Desert Geordies or Rainbow Rovers. It's easy to generalise, I am aware of the corrupt political status in Africa and elsewhere..please do not use that as a reason to do nothing. Rant over

08 Gasgas
I can't understand 'Spanglish' but looking at thes pics and from what I remember of the differences between the 05 and 06 bikes it would seem like the pegs are getting lower and lower( is that what we're losing in the translation?). How long before we see a Harley GasGas with feet forward running boards.

Scoobies, Rs4's, M3's...pah! See This Mkii Escort!
Whoah! Did you see him pin the throttle even when the back end was out? Those were the days before any of this ''lift-off'' 4wd oversteer malarky. I had a share in a rs2000 mk2 flat front, twenty years ago(4.1:1 diff', anti-tramp kit, blah blah...means nothing now)and I poured a shed load of money into it but christ it was fun. Putting things into perspective,I now have the best sort of Subaru you can possibly get ????(and it is warp speed fast)?????......the sort you hand back to your brother,the owner,when you've spent an hour using up his petrol (4 star substitute @

Sherco Virgin
ZIPPY, I think I'm right in saying the 03 models onward had their 1st gear raised (very close to 2nd on other bikes) and recall the one and only tip I got from 'quiet-man' Jarvis was'' do as much as possible in 1st to help you learn the bike and technique'' I'm still learning!!??

Repsol Ptb
A mate(expert) of mine (me..clubman) has a4rt and has explored the different ptb programs. Each time he changed programs he'd ask me to try it then ask for my opinion (of course !!). I distinctly remember him handing me the bike and saying:- ''Wayne..tonight you are riding Laia Sanz !!?? ''. Funny how that stays in my mind Seriously though, that program seemed to me to be the best (for a clubman),it softened the bottom end and seemed to leave the mid and top as standard.

Boyesen /aktive Reeds For Montesa 4rt
Well done TC people, I seem to remember catching out several Beta types last year with the petrol tank problem but you were all ready for me. I think I will concentrate on Scorpa or Sherco people next year!

Scorpa T Ride
Even just from a commercial point of view that video promo' is a million percent better than the first offering a year ago (where the bike was pootling around on some snowy forest floor). Videos like that make you want the product so much .

Boyesen /aktive Reeds For Montesa 4rt
Dear Trials Central people, It's about this time of year that I think about these things i.e. does anyone know where I can get some intake reeds for a 4rt and what sort of performance gain can I expect? Thank you in advance for any replies.

Helmet For Long And Narrow Heads?
Yes?? I had one of those NZI helmets which pitch back and forth on your head when you attempt drop-offs (and gave my forehead a good chaffing). I thought it was just my' tefal' heed but a mate of mine also bought the NZI carbon version and had the same problem (helmet chaffing --ooh err-- and temporary blindness after a drop-off). Solution??..bought an X-Speed helmet,cheap and comfy.
