No spark, tried different plugs and nothing. Getting a current from the magneto, but im not getting anything for the wire to the coil. Ie. after its gone throught the black box. Ive pug the earth connectors on the bolt that holds the coil in. And a continuity test is working between that blot and the engine so im guessing its earthed. But maybe its not earthed properly. I dont want to scrub the paint off unless i know its the proper place. i remember before it was coated a spot didnt have any paint. Just cant remember which one. Any advice?

can anyone tell me the best place to file the paint off on my frame for the grounding point? Is the bracket where the coil is attached good enough? Cheers

Guys im going to try and start it for a minute. Not anylonger. just want to hear it run. then ill carry on with the boring jobs. Radiator is on, most of the wiring, its earthed. Cylinderhead yada yada. BUT ive tried kicking it and im not getting a spark. Used the multimeter and the magneto is giving a reading out. The engine to the frame is earthed. But there is no spark. putting a continuity test between the ht lead and the engine doesnt work. Should it? the paint isnt removed off the fram for a proper earth but ive been doing continuity tests between the engine and the frame and its fine (its earthed on the ignition coil for now) Am i missing out? or is my coil / ht lead broke? .. well stuff it ill put some petrol in tomorrow and see what happens

Cheers for all the replies guys, Really appreciate it, not sure what ill do now, a trailer would be good as soon im going to have two bikes. But there more expensive and the space (i dont have tons of it at the mo) unless i could store it on its side...... Right lot to think about cheers guys A guy on a Pug forum said that he had a 65kg crosser on the bike, friends in the bike and luggage, and it hit the bump stops on humpback bridges. So i may be ok. Anyway. Cheers !

Id really appreciate some details Cheers Bikespace

Cheers for the advice, esp PA. My old man is a fabricator so can modify the rack if need be. fastandyc as far as im aware you cannot fit to a swanneck, because you normally bolt the rack behind the actual ball part. And a swan neck does not have plate for you to bolt the rack to.

Yeah apparently im only allowed two months tho and then its got to go into the garage ! Ive not got the radiator and most of the electrics in place, just want to start it, the wires for the thermostat have been mangled so im leaving them off for now ! stuff it i wont run the bike for long i just want to hear it go ! then ill start work on the bearings in the swinging arm and front shockers. (altho i cant buy any new bushers for the shocks for love or bloody money! Mat

Right mate, Mine is 93, and it has a thermostat located in the cylinder head. cant miss it really its like a spark plug ! after that they put the thermostat in the tubing for the radiator. If you look at that ebay pic, the radiator hose above the cylinder you can see the thermostat, so your thermostat should be t-pieced in, on the top hose going to the radiator. its probably been bypassed mate. Common thing to do rather than spend a tenner on a thermostat. Hope that helps Matt

Right, i have the photos ! I decided to email people on ebay that had the same bike on me, whether the listing was completed or not !! emailed 5 people and a bloke replied and added the pics to his advert !! http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...E:X:RTQ:GB:1123 There just what i needed, His bike seems sound and a good price, check it out ! So now hopefully within a week im going to get it started ! i wont bother with any other bits except the ones that i need to start it ! i just want to here it run before i finish the other parts ! Watch this space !

Hmm, alot to consider there, i dont really want to be adding different springs. Im going to have to do my research. The rack offers convience and will take up less space than a trailer. Thanks for the replys i will have a chat with some people, other 306 owners and maybe the rack makers themselves. Cheers !

Haha, i dont need to get there really fast its just the car i have ! its my first real car (after a mini) and i want to use a rack for space purposes and im pretty sure that my licence (had it 5 years) doesnt cover pulling a trailer, although that never stopped me fitting a towbar to the mini and pulling the heavy-ist homemade two bike trailer ! so id like to be abit more legal, I had a look on that kerbweight website and it says my ball weight is 52kg and obviously a bike and rack is pushing 75, So my plan is to get a third party rack (from a scrappers

the thermostat was by passed so that the fan did run all the time, i now have a new thermostat which i intend to use im going to set it all up and see if it works anyway, but to show you what im on about, if you look at the diagram below, i am missing the yellow wire that comes out of the ac/dc converter for the the fan which goes to the thermostat, so i may need a new converter. Just wondered if anyone had one laying around, you never know ! (looking at it i may be able to split the live for the fan across the thermostat, which may fix the situtation, thats probably why the fan use to run before) Anyway, more advice please and hopefuly some pics ! maybe '95 have the same layout need the headstock !??

Right guys ive been away from the site for along while, and before i was building a bike. Well i've started building it again because ive moved into a flat with my girlfriend and shes letting me build it in the LOUNGE ! shes mad ! haha Right well ive completely rebuilt the engine, bearings, acid dipped barrel etc etc But im stuck and i need your help, im doing the wiring and the previous monster has played with the wiring, so im appealing to any gasgas owners out there who have a 92-94 bike that could take some photos of the bike for me, the wiring mainly but a comprehensive documentation of the bike would help ! I've got a wiring diagram and a exploded parts list so ive got a good idea how it all goes, but i could do with someone taking the tank off and taking some photos for me. I havnt got the best idea where to bolt the electrical bits. so thought id ask ! ** plus the voltage converter only has two cables coming out of it and not a third yellow one for the thermostat, anyone got one laying around? (previous owners wired fan to always run) ( Brief history father stripped the bike down 5 years ago as we couldnt afford a decent bike, and so i started rebuilding it three years ago but then at my 21 i got a proper year old txtpro, so work kinda slowed down) So here are the pics that i have, people please add yours !

where, is this awful link found...so we may email the supplier and tell them our disgust ! did he really break both elbows?? no way ?

My brothers 04 raga has had this recently, First it was the eltronic gismo not letting the fan work..or it did intermittently... 40-50 to replace... .. then it happened again..overflowing... so we had to replace the fan,...sorted now,

Yeah that will do ! Altho thats not the one i remember seeing, i think it was one that ferretflasher posted, but anyhow, That will do nicely ! and what a rear sproket indeed !

hehe, yeah the honda c 90 thats the one, someone posted a pic of a yellow, i just cant find the bloomin picture on my hardrive !

Hello, someone once put a picture of a honda that was turned into a trials bike, Apparently eddie lejurne's dad use to make them for him?? Does any one have a picture ?? i want to make one !

ah. I was going to go to this trial. I go to all the others. But talking to some friends who have ridden the quarry before, they believed that it was only small and there may be big queues. With this in mind i didnt want to pull my managers arm to give me sunday off and be queuing all day ! ..ah well How was it? big enough? not alot of entries ? eh eh ? Matt

The physics are quite difficult to knock up a decent one... we should get someone to distribute an obvisously free version of a trials game .. ..**cough** And andys idea is the easiest to be honest Matt

My brother got a wii....welll actually i work at virgin megastores over xmas... ... so guess who beat all the customers to the counter !! haha My little brother is going to be so happy this xmas, as there like rocking horse poo this xmas !! ...but... after he went to bed i opened it up ! its amazing ! My and my bro were playing boxing and its so amazing ! im not surprised some people have let go of the remote and smashed tv's !! haha ...i want it now tho... but i wont be able to get another one from work tho, even tho i think were getting 10 more at some point Viva La Wii
