Ouch !

Should have raced back up to settle it !

A heat shield would help eliminate fuel overheating.

My experience to, do you have a heat shield on the carb ?

Bestiality and references to sodomy - OK Nudity - censored !

Mine must be worth a fortune as it appears to be the only one out there !

Have a look in B&Q, dont rember if they do braided, but do have a good selection.

Great read Biff, thanks for posting. Ross

did you re-oil the filter ?

No, its an 83 SWM which has been attacked with a brush ! Original blue. (think Gori's had black frames)

also have a look at one of the others posted by the same person

I've had the bike from almost new,its a TX240, pretty sure they were standard on this model. Thanks Ross

Mine definatly had them before it went away for it's six month holiday, I think they should be about 6mm thick but would appreciate confirmation. Ross

Would someone do me a favour and measure the thickness of the spacers that go between the sump guard and the frame at the front. Thanks Ross

I could get some pics of a TL if you still need them ?

No, but neither are modern trials either !

Try a new spark plug. Do these thinks have points ? If they do change the condensor as well.

Hopefully the end of the "survival of the weakest" mentality.

Had the same wobble (see http://www.trialscentral.com/forums/topic/24519-b40-clutch-basket/ ) Had reasurance from Pat Slinn and others, just forgot about it. Make sure you set the clutch to lift equally by kicking over with casing off and clutch pulled in to spot wobble.

Hi all, got a good second hand clutch centre from MartinM (thanks) have put in 3 soft + 3 medium springs along with a 3 way lever Haven't had a proper chance to try it yet but is one finger light, and doesn't seem to slip until 5/6th gear if you drop the clutch. I have removed any ridges on the clutch basket, but read on here somewhere about setting up the adjustment screw on the thrust bearing, but now cant find the info, so would appreciate pointing in the right direction. Thanks Ross

Would be interested in any parts, easy fix's for the kick start if you could PM me please.

Will need to weight my flywheels sometime. Re "Grip effected" I always felt that it gripped better when running slightly rich, if it was lumpy just off tick-over it was about right.
