I doubt it. When 2Ts are on full throttle the mixture in the barrel self combusts. It's similar to dieselling.

Good to have you back Gav. We'll be much nicer to you this time 'fraid I can't answer your question though. Just a thought, have you compared it to similar bikes? If it's a big difference something is wrong or broken.

'spose it was a last ditch attempt to keep the Beamish competitive. Seems a tidy job and shouldn't be too much bother to undo.

Kak = excrement (for the autocensor) Wayne, snakes, generally, aren't a problem. Most will, when they hear you, vamoose sharpish. There is one exception to this rule and it's called a puff adder. Read this to find out what a nasty critter the puff adder is: puff adder. The region they bite rots. You read that correctly. The bite results in necrotic tissue. And yes, I have ridden over and killed one.

I used to have both those mags. Bugger!

Before starting the bike I always just touch the carb so I can feel the slide returning to "home". Thank goodness somebody has mentioned that starving a 2T of fuel is not a good idea. Choke yes, top gear and rear brake on yes, boot/glove on exhaust yes. Remove spark plug cap? If the kill switch doesn't work why would removing the spark plug cap? Also you are likely to get a helluva belt. <why doesn't the kill switch work in these situations? Well read up about the Honda EXP-2 bike and find out>

Has it got a supercharger? It would account for the wail. *edit* just had a look on the Youtube page. It does have a supercharger.

He can still play a bit..

This would be a 78/79 348T (note black and gold "go faster" stripes): The other give away for the "T" model is the footrests are situated lower than they are on the regular model.

Isn't that where you mob got slaughtered?

Not by much. They were dubbed the cota 348T

Eish, Bruce het nog meer bande nodig.

Some plonker at one event helped himself/herself to a bike leaning against a trailer. Got horribly out of sorts and put a BIG ding in the bikes owners car. To make things worse they bent the forks on the bike. Never did find out who the culprit was.

It would go in a straight line?

SA's kind of complicated too. It was the second of the crown colonies to break away (the US being the first). At the end of the boer war a govt consisting of both boers and English speakers was established. This new Union of South Africa being an amalgam of the two boer republics (Transvaal and Orange Free State) and the two crown colonies (Cape colony and Natal). This govt was answerable to the crown through it's representative the governor. The crown only ceased to be head of state in SA when SA withdrew from the commonwealth in 1961 when it became a republic. So like India, SA is a former colony with no legal ties to the crown, whereas Aus, NZ and Canada still have the crown as head of state. Isn't Puerto Rico sort of a state of the US?

A brilliant job. Thanks for saving that RMM.

All quite simple really.

Done Copey. Why didn't you use FB?

Did my rear suspension last week. Lesson 1. Remove tank. It makes access much easier. Lesson 2. Label which pipe is which. There's into the petrol pump, out of the petrol pump and the vacuum/pressure pipe to the inlet manifold. Lesson 3. Don't assume that the threaded hole onto which the mudguard screws is blind. It is not. Petrol p****d all over the place (note to self: must check tank for swarf). Lesson 4. it's easier to put bolts back into dog bones etc with bike lying on its side. This takes the load of the s/arm off the linkage. Lesson 5. Not a lesson but I would have thought it obvious to remove the rear wheel.

Hmm, typical 348. Rooted frame. Right at the headstock. Mudguards, original, semi-translucent, slightly pink mudgaurds. You can't get them. Jared at South West Montesa flogged the last a few years ago. Pics below are from evil bay. The bike in the pics was completely original and only been run for about the miles. It is and the pics have served as the gold standard. Componts like the chain guides are available from Spain. Good luck.

I think it would have been considered a well thought out dab.

Good to hear that the plod are allowed to use their loafs again. Eiger, any comments?

It's true that Archimedes conceived of the thread but, as you say, as a pump. The big breakthrough was the invention of the leadscrew (yes I know, chicken and egg?) and it could be asid that the invention of the leadscrew made the industrial revolution possible. I'm not getting into the JC thing here. That's a personal matter and I have no right to judge somebody in this regard but I was astounded by the ignorance of the artist that painted that pic.
