    175 Flywheel

    Hi, I would stick with four as the flywheel will be out of balance with two.They come up on ebay from time to time,if not look for the guys selling the parts for TY's on ebay and give one a call as they are sure to have a flywheel.
  2. Just done my first trial with the electronic ignition fitted along with a mate of mine who also fitted one at the same time.First and most important thing for me was the fact it was a hot day today and thats when my bike would always cut out,and it didnt.Going around the sections I found there was always enough response from the engine at any point to give me the required amount of power,so I was very pleased with the result. I had a quick go on my mates bike and that was so much better than how it had been, I would say he is very pleased with it.So to sum it up I would say if your looking for a little more response from the engine and its been playing up,like mine was,then its a good move to make, and if your bike was not so good to start with,with regards the ignition setting then its a very good move to fit electronic ignition.Just incase your interested the one we fitted was from HERE
  3. jon v8,dont know if you saw my bit on the ty175 electronic ignition which is now fitted to mine and a mates bike,we should be doing a trial this sunday and I will post the results.Cant see why they should be that different to the ones fitted to the ty250.
  4. Hi,have a look here for some photos HERE,give the number a call for any parts that you require.
  5. Yes I'm glad to hear it to,because the bike he bought looked like a pile of crap to me,guess he was lucky then?

    Ty175

    Hi Scott,I was just interested to know if it was an early one,i think i would probably buy one of those new frames on the Majesty web site if i had enough spare cash.Whats the advantage in moving the chain tensioner? did you notice my bit on the electronic ignition thats now fitted on my bike.

    Ty175

    Anyone know if this is an early Majesty, EBAY did they look like this with what looks like the bottom rails cut out and a new skid pan?
  9. madcr500, be warned most of what sells on Ebay cheap is probably going to cost loads of money to put right.If you buy a bike that requires an engine rebuild expect to pay out about a min of

    Ty175

    Just incase anyone was interested I purchased a new electronic ignition from HERE. I purcased two at the Stafford Bike Show on Sunday,one for me and one for my mate and got a very good deal on the day. It was very easy to fit and the bike started up easy and looks like it is pulling strong. I will have to give the bike a good test which will be on my next Trial and I will post any results,so far all looks good.

    Ty175

    Thanks 29r & subanator,thanks for those bits of info,I did check the earth path out some time ago and it checked out OK,and the lighting coils have been removed so thats not the problem.I think the bike is possessed and will need to have an exorcism carried out on it,if that fails then I'm off to the Stafford Bike Show on sunday with a wad of cash to do a deal on an electronic ignition system.

    Ty175

    ttr250man & swooshdave,thanks for that info,you could be correct about the faulty HT coil even though it was new.I will try and get it hot enough to try and find out if the low tension side gives up and check the volts,not sure what voltage I should find but the new coil was rated at 6V and has a primary resistance of 1 ohm which is not what my book says it should be(4.5 ohm),however the man who sold it to me said he has sold loads and they all work OK,it was one of those dealers mentioned earlier,but he was probably correct. The boost bottle works fine and does not transfer any major amount of heat.

    Ty175

    swooshdave,in all the time that I have had this problem I have changed also(HT coil as mentioned),the condenser,the wiring to the HT coil,the points,cut off the tail from the source coil and soldered a new wire to it.re soldered the earth tab on the other end of the source coil,raised the coil off the back plate just to give a little more air gap,checked the resistance of the source coil which was OK(1.6 ohm) when cold and only raised a little when heated up which is what you would expect.

    Ty175

    swooshdave,just to put you in the picture,when the bike first started to play up I checked the HT coil and didnt get a good reading on the low tension side, so a new HT coil was fitted,then I had done a few trials in the cold weather and had no problems,thinking I had cured the problem the next trial was a warm day,after a few sections it cut out,checked for a spark and found none,left for five mins and your away again.Then some trials later after changing the wiring the condenser,heating up the source coil to try and make it break down,and thinking I had cured it on a cold day only to find out on a warm day it would cut out again.So as you can see its now driving me mad,I can only think it is the source coil but I have kind of give up trying to prove it,well almost as its on top of my central heating pump getting a good roasting,I will check it later with my multimeter.And the spark plug colour is spot on,when it runs. pitley,thanks for that phone number,I will give Colin a call.

    Ty175

    Help,every time I think I could have fixed my ty175 I then do a trial on a warm day,like today,and it starts to cut out,no spark.As far as I know I have checked or replaced every thing that could go wrong so now it looks like I will purchase an electronic ignition.So the question is should I go for the one sold by Trail and Trial or the one on the Majesty trials site,looking at them they dont look the same and from the spec they give different advance curves.Anyone got any advice? please.

  16. I think you will find the rider just took the wrong root.
  17. Andy,from one Andy to another,that sounds familiar,if you you have a problem with the system then do something about it,dont just talk about it,start a revolution,I will join.

    Wheel Bearings

    Hi,I would say if the bearings are a good fit in the wheel and then the wheel is loose it does sound like duff bearigs,there is not normally any noticeable play in a wheel bearing in my opinion.
  19. GIZZA5, that is so like the truth, but then all MP's and PM's are lying *******s.

    Ty175 Cuts Out

    Thanks for that info tony283, that black wire from the source coil, if you mean the copper wire that is part of the coil that is soldered on to the condenser that has a black sleeve,then yes I have checked this and it does look OK,I removed the wire from the condeser and slid off the black sleeve.The main wires from the condenser to the HT coil have been replaced and I did try removing the kill switch.I think I will try and cook the condenser with a hair dryer and check the readings on it just to see if it shorts out.Thanks again, and if you have any more ideas please let me know.

    Ty175 Cuts Out

    Sorry all, I know this fault has been spoken about before but was just wondering if somebody could just give me a little more info. My TY175 cuts out when hot, no spark, i have noticed it will not cause any problems on a cold day, but on a warm day after a few sections it will just cut out,let it cool for 5 mins and then your away again.So far i have replaced the HT coil,the wiring,points and condenser.Its the ignition source coil which i have some doubts about.I have measured the resistance and its about 1.8 ohms cold and rises to about 3 ohms when you heat it up with a hair dryer.Not sure what else there is to check but somebody did suggest that the condenser although not very old could be breaking down.I have started to think electronic ignition,but
  22. Andy,what is Herpes is it like Hispeas, my dad used to grow peas and they must have been his peas?
