Afternoon All. So my Cub is all together and a runner. Warmed up and tickover set. Starts lovely on the choke from cold and also when warm. However I’ve got a jetting issue. Here are the symptoms - when I open the throttle gently it runs ok but when I snap the throttle open it muffs badly or stalls. - I think it’s therefore when it comes onto the main jet? - after running it for a bit a shiny new pipe is now a gold colour, so getting hot. Im now about to spend hours researching on the internet, but is someone can point me in the right direction or a good how-to link that would be great

Hi. I've modified my Cub forks to have cartridges but now need new fork springs. Could anyone advise what sort of rate I might ask for when speaking to the various suppliers, who I guess include Hagon, YSS, etc? On the rear I'm thinking a set of Betor Alloy jobs for £150-ish. Any thoughts on these? Or NJB Have a good day

OK thanks. The reason I asked is that with the spacer behind the rotor it didn't look like much thread is left to secure the nut. I take your point about the wires. Ive also noticed that the spade terminals they fit are too big to go through the hole in the cases. That's not very well designed is it? I replaced them with bullets that could thread through one at a time.

Some advice please as the instructions although simple are not clear. I'm fitting to a bare crank. The kit has a small spacer. Do I fit this behind the sleeve and rotor, touching the primary or under the crank nut. The choice will of course move the rotor outwards by about 5mm. Any assistance welcomed

Hi Hughie. I’ll call you later tonight colin

With a bit of time on my hands at the moment I thought I’d have a go at fitting may new ignition to the Cub and tidy up a few loose ends. I really need a new exhaust pipe but can’t seem to find any in stock with the usual suppliers. So is there anyone that knows where I can find a high rise. inside the frame pipe. If anyone has a spare? have a lovely Easter

After much kicking, swearing and throwing spanners about I managed to get it started. Not sure it'll go once again once its cooled down. Anyone want a freshly restored TY80. Its taken me so long that my 13 year old daughter is now in the market for a Ford Fiesta!

Yes I’ve done that, still no joy. So is it bonfire time then?

Hi. Back at it again, still won’t start. So here’s what I’ve done 1) new crank with fresh seals. Got really good compression 2) new points, condenser, coil, plug cap, plug. Massive spark. Timing also set 3) new jets, carb cleaned thoroughly, float height set spot on. It still won’t start. So question is have I missed anything or do I just set fire to the f****ing thing and move onto another project

Thanks for the replies. Can I also ask what length rear shocks people use on trials Cubs. Mine look too short. I'm looking at the Betor jobs. Any good or is it Hagons or NJB?
