Hi jumbostu, tell all about electronic ignition. Didn't think there was one commercially available ? Ross

I got these fork springs from In Motion Bultaco for my Marzocchi forked SWM, so depending on your weight should be fine. (13stone) Defiantly better than 20/30 yr old ones !

Or you might find it easier to get a channel over the sprockets as there isnt much room for a straight edge. Look here http://www.diy.com/nav/fix/hardware/ironmongery/sheet_metal___tubing/-specificproducttype-steel_hardware

Age less important than condition, best bike to buy is owned by a mature rider, generally.

What happens to the old frame ?

Yes join black cables together to miss out old condensor, use existing black wire that comes out grommet at back of cylinder and goes through plastic sheath, where it would previously just gone to coil join in new condensor, as you say mounted by coil. Job done. (and make sure wire by flywheel cant touch anything)

Plug gap about 25 thou. Yes to how you adjust timing, though not that critical. Timing mark on casing at about 11, by screw hole, and faint mark on fly wheel is there if you look, hard. To connect an external condersor, disconnect existing and remove or isolate, join wires together, pref solder and insulate. Mount a new condensor by coil and connect black wire. I use a VW one from Euro car parts which has 2 connectors and a bracket which makes it easy. If you want the part no ask. Bultaco UK also do one thats suitable. Martin seems to spend a fair bit of time away so not always an instant answer.

You need one of these to kick start stops the case getting damaged again :- http://www.motoswm.com/

Hi Billy I'v seen road reports of a diesel engined bike a few years ago, can't even to begin to imagine a trials one. Ross

Do diesels not have Cat's ?

Andy, we need a new slapped wrists emoticon.

You will have to take the left hand casing off, having first removed the gear lever & kickstart, to have a look. Only thing I can think of is the mechanism attached to the casing has moved, its a plate with a lever that rotates on 3 ramps which (normally)disengages the clutch. To drain the gearbox oil take out the allen key on the sump, NOT the hex head. * (worth making a cardboard template to make sure you put the screws back in the correct places as they are different lengths )

Gorebridge - on the A7 about 15 miles south of Edinburgh.

Were they not mostly Japan only ? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sC2WqrKjfPc&feature=related

You couldn't pick out the bottom ring and clean up the piston, and try and source a replacement ring ?

I think I would be even more suspicious if they didn't ask !

Younger riders should get there early to avoid all the wheel chairs & zimmers, extra room should also be left for the hysterical older riders.

I know a couple of TY175 owners that have tried Wiseco pistons without success, and changed quickly as there is no power. (don't shot the messenger)

Hi Gordon Nice short drive for you to Gala & Stow, hope to see you there. Windlestone, you to. Ross

Gala is always good, Stow, is that the Lauder Common piece of ground ? Great scree sections at the back.

Not to worry, I would have the same problem with your Canadian accent I'm sure !

No problem, dont thank me !
