Super rich running txt 250
Are you losing gear oil ? Does it smell like burning gear oil ? Talk the exhaust off and clean it out. What was the plug like when it stopped ? Are you getting a spark ?

Is air filter clean ? Do not put to much oil in air filter as this will also make it run rich.

Climber 280r magneto
Is that the correct plug for a climber ? Thopught most trials plugs had a projected nose, making them run hotter to burn the crap off. I'd check that first. I'd go for a bp5es ngk

Road Registering old Twinshocks
You sure ? Only if the vehicle is more than (I think ) 35 years old , can you run without mot or road tax, still has to be insured. Q plates were for vehicles that had been written off, then put back on the road, or if age couldn't be determined ? Farm vehicles can only run a very short distance from the registered farm without being totally legal.

Climber 280r magneto
So when the bike boggs and stops, you take the plug out and your getting a good spark ? At that stage have you tried a new plug ? A picture of the plug would also be useful.

Climber 280r magneto
Your ignition is probably dying, are you getting a spark ? A company in Germany do a replacement, not cheap. Maybe get the stator and cdi checked by Bradford Ingnitions . What carb is on it ? If its an air screw Dellorto they can be temperamental, try get a loan of a petrol screw one to eliminate that. I'm assuming your getting a good spark when it stops ?

Zone 5 is a great helmet imo, never noticed any weight issues, the eye protection it offers is the most important factor.

Kick Start Lever Required for Jumbo.
I bought a kickstart from Phillips at old nobblies, seems good quality, and if its not exactly the correct fit it can be reshaped if you have access to Oxy acetylene.

Cheap trialling
I would go one step further and introduce a handy cap system, really level the playing field.

Best tricks for waking up a front drum brake?
If the drums well worn, new standard shoes won't make a huge difference. Get a pair re-lined with oversized material.

Climber 280r gearbox oil
No, that's the drain for the crank case. As lineaway said above, its an Allan key about 10 inches behind. 1000/1200 ml of atf works well.

Rear wheel bearings
Hi Carlos, in the past I've done exactly as you do, but have discovered for my specific use leaving them as delivered is best. I accept that different conditions require different approaches.
