@Woolfie if you want photos, pm me your email and I'll forward them. The mazzochi's measure from centre of wheel spindle to top of stancion, 800mm.

Something to consider, if it's still on its original ignition, although it may run, it's probably past it's best.

@Woolfie I have a pair of 35mm mazzochi's from a 1980 swm I can measure of you want ? (apparently some of the early bikes had 34mm forks, might be worth checking) @pschrauber any info Patrik ?

From memory, the red and white tank model had frame differences around the footrest area and tubes under the engine. A friend had one new at the time and it had a black frame I'm sure. I could ask him. I'm sure you have looked through Martin's history ? http://www.motoswm.co.uk/models/models-2/

" can't buy success " = a deficit of vankers ?

I'd have thought that was a good thing ?

You just pump the forks, the oil comes out plenty fast enough ?

White spirit can leave slightly oily residue, probably better with methylated spirit, or brake cleaner.

Could be homo/erotic code ?

From memory, you need to disconnect the black wire if you want the points to act like a switch.

Even if you get it working its probably past its best, have a look at :- https://www.motoswm.co.uk/shop/swm-rotax-trials-electronic-ignition-kit-clubman/

Was it smoke (ie from exhaust) or steam from engine / radiator ? Does the fan run ? Did you squeeze hoses to check for air locks ? Are you getting a spark ? Is the plug wet or dry ?

Message Patrik.

"lots of big words" conversation over, tawt.

My friends nickname was the "clock", because he always thought before he acted/spoke. He was professionally involved with risk management, so lecturers on behaviour patterns are not required. I don't believe anyone with a modicum of intelligence, expects the general population to behave sensibly, however transferring all responsibility to the vulnerable is rather egocentric ?

Excellent advice, but can you elaborate on how my friend recovering from cancer should "moderate his behaviour " ??

Your mellowing !

Probably no difference in a hot climate, life and death in extreme cold.

Speak to Gerry Minshall.

If your drilling the rim to fit the locks, check where the join is as you obviously don't want to drill there. Good wheel builders generally put the joint opposite the valve hole. Most people run 2 locks on the rear, but 1 is fine. Choose the position carefully to give as much space as possible for the nut/spanner.

Touché ?
