I'm 80 now got cancer. Been treated for the last 3 1/2 years I still ride if I don't ride I observe I still love it sometimes I finish sometimes I don't but I allways enjoy it exhausted or not
What I did with my stator cover I drilled a hole in the outer part of the crankcase tuned up a spigot the right size for a plastic pipe and glued it in with arldite sealed the stator and had never had corrosion inside in two years
Does it really matter ? Me and my mates ride old British cr$p of varying condition/spec/quality. We have a bloody good laugh, plenty of mickey taking and go home. Makes the weekend worth looking forward to, yes we are competitive,but none of it is a world championship. At least we ride the bikes,trick or not.
we at home used to use lots of tyre leavers and even sledge hammers have fun and games, but my dad now runs a tyre depot, so they have machines for getting tyres off the rims, with a bead breaker, etc (sooo much easier than the old skool method). i think most tyre shop will change a tyre if you don't want to do it yourself for a small(sih) fee, i know my dad often has various bikers (road and off road) come in with their wheels or even whole bike and they get them to change them.
But then your dads a real trials rider old school ?
I like what you have achieved nice bit of work but I still prefer the early distributor outer case on but I will do the oil seal mod on the kickstarter shaft thanks for sharing your work and ideas
It might not be water getting in but condensation not getting out we used to put a breather on top of the casing with rubber tube routed higher up the frame use to stop moisture getting between the points
If you get a long screwdriver and going down the right hand side of the engine you can get the blade on the end of the header pipe had tap it loose it doesn't take much and it's thicker metal on the end of the pipe
Up is on when engine running down is on all the time you need to put it down if you haven't started it for a while just to top the carb up phut phut is normal lovely aren't they enjoy
Its a fairly easy job if you lean the bike right over so the petrol is away from the tap undo the retaining bolt and replace the two copper washers either side off the tap it's a 10mm bolt
Hi dan my beta 4T comes as standard has the six thicker plates instead of one at each end like the later two strokes witch are 3mm thick the surflex plates I put in are 10 thou thinner reducing the pack by 60 thou making it a lot better and some free play on the thrust washer that I didn't have before
When do you guys stop doing this?
