Gaunt Suzuki Questions
use the hubs from the K10/11 80cc Suzuki. I only have experience of using super six pistons, I think the GT250 ones are slightly shorter and may mess with the porting

Honda TL125 Rotten Tank needed ?
I've done a couple of tanks which had gone thin and slightly holey using a sealent, can't remember the name - got it from Wyldes in Leeds

Join the optimised fantic part of facebook as they come up on there from time to time, the 125 one fits. Looks a really nice bike

Shame there is no video, would be nice to hear it running

Cota 248.....Getting A Spark?
Fairly sure this is normal, the points are 'earthing' through the condenser. I seem to remember on the 123 I had many years ago disconnecting the condenser to check the timing using on of those buzzer devices.

OKO carb on early MAR
Is there anywhere in the UK to get OKO's from?

Sherco 0.5 kids trials bike
Sorry no, I had one for the kids and it was a good bike. A tip I was given is not to turn off the fuel tap as it's quite badly made and sometimes it rips itself out of the tank. i only ever put a small amount of fuel in and ran it out or drained the carb

1978 frame colour
Are the forks you are looking for the ones with quite short bottoms?

250 4rt crank
I'm sure there are others, but a firm near to Nottingham called SEP have a large press and some tooling with which they can squeeze the crank and lobe it such that the bearing grips and remains concentric. They have done a couple for me over the years

Keeping on top of it!
I like to run the carb dry before putting the bike on the trailer and blow the tyres up to about 15 PSI too

Monoshock special
I've converted a couple of mono's to twinshock with few problems. I used the shortest shocks from NJB which work well
-
Kickstart stuck
It's an extra flywheel weight. A half inch drive socket wrench will fit, if memory serves me it is a left hand thread.

Trial Trophy Bilstain, Belgium 5-7-2020
I agree, though I skipped to some later coverage of a guy on a TLR doing presumably some kind of easy route which was like a motorway. What is the penalty for sitting motionless with one foot on the floor?

Moto GP second round
I could have finished 15th

Channel 12 Quest MotoGP highlights.2020
I couldn't find it on Quest and eventually watched it on YouTube which wasn't the best. Any idea when the next round is on?
-
Re-start of Trials
think 'classic' trials are going to be some way off. Obviously the rider age is an issue, but the advanced age of most organisers and observers more so

D7 Exhaust and silencer?
With the D7 you won't notice much difference. The mid-box for a TY175 (preferably after market alloy) does a good job. If you want better performance you will need to fit the D14 barrel
-
Two stroke Crankcase sealer
I use silicone. If you can hand tightened the holding screws and then leave for 20 -30 minutes before finally tightening. If the bearings are already on the crank, just go straight to tightening with warm cases.
