June 25, 200521 yr Well....it's back in one piece thankfully, wee snap below. It's not the work of art that I've seen on here but I'm happy with it.......now if I can get the timing right I might get to ride a trial next weekend dy
June 25, 200521 yr Author Very light hone and a new set of rings for now, basically ran out of time in the end. Just need to get the timing set up properly, it's running but starts spitting and banging and there is some resistance in the engine when you try to roll the throttle on, even as little as a quarter turn. Mate is coming out here tomorrow for a look, he my expert!! BIG thing though NO SMOKE, see what happens tomorrow, donald
June 26, 200521 yr Donald - Don't know how bad the symptons are but are you sure its timing? It could be carburation, I've had a similar thing on my bike which I eventually traced to dirt/water in carb. Gordon
June 26, 200521 yr Author Hi Gordon, going to have a look at the carburation and the timing again tonight. Could be the carb when I think about it. I'll let you know Regards Donald
June 27, 200521 yr Author Hi Guys, fixed and going like a steam engine, (which is a b*gger cos I want a trials bike ) Valve timing out by a few degrees, must have slipped when finishing things off. It's now reset and running lovely. Stripped the carb as well, it wasn't that bad but it had been lying in a dusty engineering factory for the last couple of months. I am now a happy bunny and going for a play during my break (night shift again!) dy
June 27, 200521 yr Author Okay, had a play in the woods beside the office and it's great. smoke a wee bit but didn't expect anything else, shouldn't need a tanker behind me any more Throttle response is much quicker and it's a smoother delivery than before, not snatchy at all. Roll on Saturday (Classic club trial at Thornhill, scramble on Sunday) dy Edited June 27, 200521 yr by Slapshot 3
