That sounds like the sort of lining i use for my tlr 250 and i've been told it's for fork lifts, so it's made for a harsh environment ie oil grease and other things that may be on a factory floor
the lining is not oil and grease proof. it is designed to operate a low speed and low temperature. try bringing a drum
braked trials bike to a halt quickly from road speed and feel the brake fade!
Couldn't have put it better b40rt. I've got a Golden Tyre Gecko 355 on the rear of my 125. Really good as far as grip is concerned but the thing just won't sit on the rim even with two rimlocks. No big prob at very low speed but terrible at anything in 3rd upwards.
The IRC on my 320 was an easy fit and has stayed put ever since. Both are on the standard Akront rims.
the alfin barrel, as opposed to an alloy barrel, was an after market item that replaced the iron barrel. They were flanged mounted to the crankcases, using the four studs. the alloy barrelled
comp motor have long studs through to the head to fix them. The stud configuration is different but can be made to fit but not easily.
Iron heads were pre 1948 I think. I have been around A.M.Cs literally all my 58 years but have never seen a bronze head on one.
At the throttle opening you describe you are above the pilot jet region and well below main jet. This 1/8 to 1/4 area is controlled by the needle, needle jet and throttle slide cut away.
you could try moving needle up or down depending if you think it is rich or weak. (you don't say which you think it is).
If you search Mikuni vm26, then click on vm "round slide" tuning manual, there is hours of fine reading!
hi Columbus, I don't know the answer to your question. but I suggest you re-post it in the pre-65 section of the marques listing further down. it will picked up
The 19inch has the same diameter as the 18inch. the tread pattern is different. the tread depth is only 3/8inch. the side walls are hard. they don't grip!
The front wheel, and therefore the fork legs ,are in back to front. the foot rests have been altered. you would not bother doing that to a garage queen. As for sump guard not being scratched, there is plenty of
you said you had to shim it because of the thicker gasket, which is quite right. just make sure all gears select cleanly . adding any goo, once it has dried your shimming may have gone awry.
So far not so good then judging by your experiences. Looks like the trials rider pays up and does the developement work yet again, we continue to pay the asking price for things that simply do not perform. Any one done any better with these floats?
I have retro fitted two of these without any problems. has the valve seat in float chamber been drill to adjust float level in the past?? the seat should be just under 15mm from the gasket face.
if it is much more turn it upside down and tap the brass seat bush up a bit with a 1/8inch drift.
if you have enough brake drum left to skim it, BLR engineering in wallington, surrey, can skim it complete. it must have a tyre on, but mx or enduro type tyres wont work.

just checked the rider list on sidcups website, no Mr spud seems to have entered. shame that, good trial with three routes, something for all pre65s.
