      Yes, I have gotten it in, so just need to build it and get you a price.

        I’ve been pretty busy with bike work and other stuff, but should be pretty soon.

        My email is:

      markh@olympus.net 

      best way to contact me, since I just now saw this!

    Hello, I noticed you responded to a post regarding a smoky Osssa. In this post, you mentioned that a diagram was a later year with a race type LH bearing and that the oil feed holes on those models were blocked off. I have a 2015 280 that started smoking intermittently after I repaired the gear box. I assumed it was the LH seals but your post makes think otherwise...do you know if the LH seals would cause smokiness (intermittent) in a 2015 280?

    Thanks,

      Thanks Peter! I am in Canada. Another member was kind enough to give me software and was initially going to make me a cable but he has not followed up and it sounded like a lot of work for him. Do you know where I can get a cable?

      The intermittent is strange...I thought maybe it just takes time to build up in the crankcase???

      Hi Alex, would you be ok to email me, I find the message service quickly fills up on TC and I have to delete a few things to allow more entries. Pls try me on peterboettchernz@yahoo.co.nz

      If you were in NZ I would offer to reset your software and there is a straight forward tune to lean or richen the mixture over the rev range.

      Due to the backward facing cylinder, there is a step at the base of the crankcase mouth where 2T oil builds up with use. When starting from cold, this oily residue mixes with the combustion fuel/air until it is all burned off, then after use again, the build up returns. Is this what you are seeing? Very rich from cold for a long time? Bye, Peter.

      Just remembered, there is another Ossa rider in Canada who has a cable set, will see if I can think of who it is. What city are you close to?
