Yes

I had this problem with my B50 the torque setting for the crank pin was to low, when it was torqued to spec it fitted perfectly.

Thats how mine starts. we must have the same engines.

I use the same technique as Mr Mike, it makes kicking over a B50 easy as there is no compression to kick through. It all happens with the momentom of the fly wheel.
The H*nda one I had used only released the compression on the first bit of movement of the kickstarter.

skippy

The manual decompressor gives the correct amount of decompression and crooect piston placement before kicking it over

skippy

When you enlarge it the gyro turns it up the right way. Heavy bits to the bottom

It looks like the gears have failed and the shell was keeped as a spacer. I had to replace mine as the grease had hardened and the gears stripped.

Rest in peace Stan You have been missed on here for a while But Your legacy will live on in this forum.

Mine had to be heated to release the locktit and has been locktited back in.

skippy

It's on it's wheels so please keep it that way. Good luck.

skippy

I have thread tape on mine to seal them. the taps come from Mark Cook. I have had to change them from tank to tank a few time without a problem.

skippy

Like Tom said I have done the 6 plate mod and found it good. I use less tension for all the grip I need.
I used a high tensile bolt to make a longer adjusting screw.

skippy

I bought my seal from the local bearing shop.

skippy

I like your's better.

skippy

Good stuff, I will be sending my electronics jobs to Beat's best engineering shop from now on.

skippy

I get a kick back sometime as the engine rocks back after not starting and the kick starter is not fully down and disengaged.

skippy

Keepup the good work. It just shows how much we miss the forum when it is not working.

I made mine from a metal ring of a pen it worked perfectly. I am not sure i could find another pen with that size ring on it now.

skippy

Hope you get better. But sadly we don't bounce as well as we used to

skippy

That is the major failing of the cheap pazon and maybe some others as idle revs drop so does the advance which lowers the revs and so on.
So a healthy idle speed is a good think in this case. You pays your money and gets the technology for the price.

skippy

I'm with Kommando, sounds like it is a bit retarded.

skippy

That seat is realy professional.

What did the battery cost if you don’t mind me asking Doug $668 The reason i tried it is because the fridge would get left on and drain down the battery which lowered the capacity and soon i would have no capicity to use the fridge and starting would be a problem if i left the ute for sometime.

The secret to lithium batteries is the bms it comes with, the bms does all the regulation and balancing.
I have a lithium starter battery in my ute and it cranks it a lot faster than the lead acid battery. It sit around 13.6V when stopped.

skippy

I have found that the podtronic charges at 14.5V which is higher than the Zenor. Using the headlights seems to help a bit.
What other recregs do others use and what voltage do they regulate at??

skippy

A battery impact wrench is the best investment you can buy, you don't have to lock anything to get it undone.

skippy

As i see it they were designed to handle the power.

skippy

Nice lathe Beat. I can see some interesting things coming from your workshop.

skippy

Any piping that is higher than the feed pipe will drain back out of the rocker feed pipe. Which is the section of return pipe going to the oil tank that is above the rocker box pipe. If your tank is over full it will drain back through the return pipe till that pipe gets below the oil level in the t...

I have used gasket remover from a spray can.

Big Happy Birthday Minetymenance A new decade of age has come. Enjoy your day and welcome to the seniors club.

skippy

I have never gotten the pazon thing. They work with no problem on a B50 If you use correct starting procedure. Just the same as people say they are hard to kick over, it is easier than my 250 kawa.

skippy

2 pickup coils 1 magnet = 2 sparks per rotation. When kicking the first detection livens up the electronic if it has gone to sleep, the second fires the plug.

skippy

So you can 3D print them from your cad drawings. for flote level checking that would work fine.

skippy

Thanks for the good wishes and i hope to catchup with John and maybe Barry sometime at a bike event.

skippy

Sorry i was looking at my pazon where the magnet and the coil are a trigger to the electronics and i guess there could be some minute change in timing from speed but it triggers at a very low voltage because it has to works when kicked over. Any excess voltage produced via speed is negated. My BMW u...

skippy

For electronic ignitions you set them to full advance which is 34deg for B50 then they retard at lower revs till they reach the full advance at their set revs. the magnet movement has no effect on this.

skippy

The condensor is redundant on electronic ignition. I change the capacitor for a smaller modern electroletic one, just in case the battery becomes disconected as mine did when it broke inside. Electronics arn't happy with varing voltages caused by rectified AC

skippy

Which is correct? The level when screwed in or screwed out, or doesn't it matter.
