chudder

thanks for the replies,oko on its way.

would a mikuni vm28-49 be a good replacement for an amal and would it be an easy fit thanks in advance,chudder.

The rear brake on my 280i is only any good if it is wet.Any ideas why this should be?

Thought I would repack the exhaust on my 348 as is suggested.Could see that it had been done before by the ring of weld around it. Cut a rectangular window out and found no sign of any packing and no baffles,just a straight through pipe! Not what I was expecting. What to do next? Who ever did it did a good job of it,just should have done it with baffles.

whats the best way to start a 348 with a decompressor on it.I am strugling to get the hang of it. Thanks in advance,Chud

Thanks everyone,195ml sounds right

hi,thanks for the replys.that one on ebay is the same one as i had from Motoclassic in uk. if i hold it up to the forks and line the holes up the brake pivot is in the way.If it was a bit shorter I think it would work.I could do with knowing what the hole to hole gap should be. the part number is 7355.48 on one manual Ive discovered

my recently bought 348 was missing the front brake torque arm.No problem I thought, 2 on ebay both saying for 348 both 5155.050 .Got one and it does not fit! seems to be too long. Whats happened.Could be getting the grinder and welder out.

just got myself a 348 with a few issues,one was the front wheel spacer length without the speedo drive on.Hopefully your 34ml measurement will be right for mine. How do you get the wheels so shiny?

one for sale local to me,year 81 with a white tank.what is there too look out for on it or do i leave it ,opinions please

thanks for the replies,the vibration seems to be at the top of the engine and starts at a certain rev,otherwise she sounds good.

hi all,my 2011 ossa has developed a vibration at about 2/3rds throttle. up to that point all sounds well and starts fine.I cant find anything loose anywhere to cause it.The spark plug was black and a bit oily so I was wondering if the tps was a bit out would it cause the vibration.

help from around the world, brill

is there a way to test the temp sensor?if the fan comes on is it working?could be a computor job at trials +trib.

Thanks for all the replies,first I took the plug out which was black and sooty looking but had a good spark.I put it back in and it started on the second kick BUT only went for 10 seconds before stopping,Tryed again and it started but ran rough for about 5 seconds and stopped.Next I put an old spark plug in and it ran fine until I stopped it after 5mins.That plug was black when I looked at it.These two plugs were BPR 5ES so I thought I would try a 4ES as suggested.I think theres more wrong than just the plug but hopefully not.

Engine just died on me mid section and wont start at all now.Not long since new fuel pump and throttle body so any other suggestions where to start looking much appreciated.

wish i'd known this sooner, after spending ages trying to bleed the rear brakes on my ossa I could get no pedal pressure.last night I tied the mc to the top of the rear wheel with the cap off.low and behold this morning I have brakes.

New throttle body,up and running again.

Just took it to trials and trib,hope they can sort it.What was wrong on yours in the end badger?

That's good news,mines a 2011.Had it 18months.been great till now.Thanks for the suggestions.I am only 30miles or so from trials and tribs if I cant cure it.

badger, did trials + trib sort your bike or is it in a skip.Mine has lost power,starts 1st time and revs ok but under load starts dieing.Pull clutch in and it revs up again.
