Just got round to finding the time to sort this poor running. Turned out it had snapped the woodruff key so ignition was all out of sync. Runs like a dream now. Tom

Hi Woody, Thanks for your help. the rear shocks are 13.5 inches in length. I had realised looking at other photos that the rear swing arm was different and was unsure whether length would be different. If not just a case of removing shock mounts and replacing over spindle. also with what you say about the front forks explains why side stand is 4 inch too short. I will do as you say first and go through the electrical side of things first. The stator wires have been modded so they come out the top of the cases then run under the cylinder. Cheers for now. Tom.

Hi Woody, Yes it looks like its that bike. Ive had it running and it sounds sweet with no rumbles engine wise but as stated it won't rev out cleanly. I could start changing everything to sort but feel it needs the correct carb as a base first. Tom.

Hi, Hope someone can help? Ive just purchased a TR77 250 which was sold as a poor runner with the previous owner thinking it needs new points or main seals which were both supplied with the bike. On getting the bike home it starts up very easy but struggles to rev up at all. The bike is fitted with a Dellorto carb which I presume is wrong so maybe causing bike to run bad. Can someone confirm what model of carb this bike needs if current one is incorrect and also where I might be able to get the correct one from? Many thanks, Tom.
