  1. Remove fuel tank and spark plug, turn bike upside down and operate kick start to pump water through. You might loose a little gearbox oil while doing this so check when upright.
  2. Good habit to get into, before starting the bike twist and release the throttle, you should hear it closing with a clunk from the carb. You should be able to see the spark, even faintly. (not advised, but I have held the plug to feel if something is happening ) Plug should also show some petrol, if completely dry check tank / tap / carb. A small amount of two stroke mix down the plug hole might be all it takes to get it going. Good luck.
  3. Are you getting a spark ? Is the plug wet ? Sheared woodruff key if your lucky.
  4. Jeronis took banned substances, but its not his fault ???
  5. As above, Gerry Minshall is the man to speak to.
  6. David Dixon hasn't been on here since 2009.
  7. Are those recommended plug gaps, hard to tell but last photo "looks" way to close.
  8. What age / condition is the rest of the ignition system ? This would be my first port of call.

    Swm 1982 Clutch Fix

    Glen, that was back in 2011, got the springs from Peter. Can Martin supply ? Or failing that the ex army Rotax people maybe ?
  10. Did it have a long "flex " ??
  11. A bit like using a Suzuki piston and a fantic clutch and cylinder head on bantam ..... ?
  12. 13/53 = 4.07:1. 12/48 = 4.0:1. Virtually the same. Nothing wrong with good quality 428 chain, more than capable of handling the power / weight.
  13. Have you strengthened it with a web behind the extension ?
  14. Not sure if I'm typing in invisible ink ? From a safety point of view get an mot. J Bliss creations can be seen as un-sporting if entered against pre 65 / twin shocks. Excluded on these grounds ?
  15. If you had the operation back to front it still shouldn't start, i.e. no choke. Try another carb.
  16. The majority of twin shocks and pre65's probably fall into this category, New heard of one being checked. If you want to cover your posterior get it mot'ed, can be done on frame number if no v5.
  17. Shouldn't start from cold without choke, what does the plug look like ?
  18. Fabricate a longer idle screw ?
  19. Coil earths the through body, so should be properly mounted onto clean bare metal.
  20. Be careful with the long front bolt, if its rubbing / tight to mount, it will wear the tank causing leaking.
