There wasn't a lot of fuel in it, so topped it up with fresh, changed oil and all filters, new iridium plug... Haven't had the carb off not sure how easy this is....

Hi
Due to a number of reasons I'd not run the Rev4 for over a year... After getting it started at the trial it ran OK up to a point it intermittently cut out queueing at some sections and was pinking a fair bit. Any advice on what might be causing this and what to do? Old fuel probably didn't help... 😣
-
As a follow up for anyone with similar concerns.. The bike lift was high up but it was surprisingly easier than I first thought, put the rear wheel in first and even at the end of the trial it was no problem lifting it in. No issues with bike hitting the car in any way either, I used MX 1.5 Phatty straps with carabiner clips and these were spot on...
Thanks for all the great replies...
-
Good to hear how to do it first hand thanks... I'd half considered using the bike stand first as it lifts the wheel up a fair bit, then lifting in from there but I would imagine it might be a bit wobbly high up and probably better to lift from lower down.. Going to try a few practice attempts first in the drive before trying tired out and covered in mud...
-
Great tips guys thanks, like the sound of the milk crate (knackered rider) method tho.... ?
-
Sounds like a good idea front wheel first and then grab the swinging arm cheers...
-
Fitted my DC rack to the Freelander and the rack looks great though the height to lift the back wheel looks very high... anyone have any tips on getting it up high enough to load... think the beta will be OK but my Sherpa is a lot heavier...
-
Great reply look forward to the pictures, cheers
-
After weighing it all up went for a rack in the end, had nowhere to store a trailer properly... but looking at it now where do my existing electrics go once the rack bar is in behind the towbar.. do you just bend the electrics bracket?
-
Great answer thanks... There you go that was worth asking as I literally had no idea so won't be bothering with that then... ?
-
I want to clean out my Sherpa exhaust by the caustic soda method but reading up on it is a bit confusing... use of a rubber/potato bung, etc etc...
If anyone has got any experience of doing it this way could give a step by step guide that would be great.
Cheers Tony ?

Trying to remove the swinging arm spindle from a Model 221 and it's not moving even slightly, any tips on heating it up to remove... Planning on replacing with new Inc bushes, grateful for any help. Cheers
-
Thanks for your reply, had a load of bits floating around in an old Tlr tank once so thought it was worth checking out.
-
Is modern fuel OK in an alloy tank, I know there are issues with ethanol and was wondering if I'll need to coat the inside with flowliner or something similar.
Appreciate any info cheers
-
That's really helpful Greg cheers, looks like the one to get then thanks.
-
Yes it looks the same from what's left of the one I took off.. but as it didn't list 221 I figured it was different in some way... Guess this will fit OK? Didn't know if someone had made an aftermarket alloy version...
-
Got a 221 restoration on the go and removed what's left of the airbox... Is there a replacement anyone knows of as a look online didn't show up much, cheers Tony
-
I'll look into the castor idea... there is a thing for moving garden pots around that might work as well ?
-
The Erde bike trailer will stand up on its end which would allow me to store it... Has anyone done this and got a system (caster set, etc) to then manoeuvre it where you want it to go. If I could tip it up and then wheel it that would be perfect for where I can store it.....
-
Had a reply from DC.zinc coated 4x4 rack Inc straps and light board around £125.. Still not clear how it actually attaches but I think this is the way to go cheers.
-
My concern was with fitting it to my towbar... I thought I had a swanneck tow ball which seemed to cause problems for others but on further inspection it's square section coming out straight with the ball attached to that, so hopefully it might be more secure. Thanks for the reply I'll give DC a ring and see what's best.
-
Coming back to trials and always previously used an Erde trailer but I don't have the room any more so considering a Dave Cooper rack... Will this fit the land rover OK? Grateful for any help..
-
Anyone know a good match for the grey on the clutch case on a 2010 Evo 250, tried Beta Uk and they didn't know. It looks the same grey used on a Rev 3 but I'm not sure.
Cheers
Tony

I've got a feeling the hub has gone slightly oval, and I can't source a TLM wheel anywhere, any sugestions on where to get the hub machined or lined.
Thanks for the replies earlier.
