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.

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

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.

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.

skippy

Your not worried it's going to go to fast for you.

skippy

On another note, I fell off a ladder two days ago and cracked a rib. I won't be able to start or ride a the bke for a couple weeks.. At 77 I shouldn't be on bikes or ladders. As i get older i find it more important to be able to start my bike than have it going as fast as possible. As such i have n...

Is a re-chrome and grind economically feasible when there seems to be new items readily available for about £80/pair??

I looked at it and bought new ones, but the inside diameter was a little different between the 2 of them although both were workable.

Yep, and did it...not me but on my bike, slave cylinder where the rack was. HPStan has done a few with Itie slave cylinders bolted onto the case.

Where is the information on that one?

skippy

Long distance is relative and the older I get the more relative it has become.

skippy

I have a BMW R65 1986 for my comfortable long distance riding.

Heat dissipation is very important shifting the Zenor away from the rectifier will help a lot.
I really don't know if either is anymore reliable, but I noticed a higher voltage from the podtronics which is not necessarily good for small AGM alarm batteries. 13.8v zenor to 14.5v podtronics

skippy

There must be hundreds of Zenor diodes around. I have 2 in my small collection of parts.

skippy

If it's not self priming how are you going to be sure it primes and pumps each time you use it?

skippy

yes from Australia.

skippy

On my bike i found keeping the idle mixture up a little richer helped starting easier.

skippy

I'm still using Roadplough's original experimental one on my bike. I have his updated one in my spares but haven't put it on yet.

skippy

Don't suck any stones in the and put them under the belt.

My bike had been fired up buy the importer without checks and sold to someone else, then i got it. It ran for about 150 miles and started losing compression. It had rust in the cylinder which acted as grinding paste Thankfully there was no problems with the bottom end and gearbox except for the outp...

skippy

You will be amazed what crap can be in the frame i rinsed mine with diesel and finished with petrol making sure the fumes had gone before putting it back together.

skippy

i'm with Beat. As the kickstart goes throw the clutch. But if you kick it again and it it does nothing then i will change back to the clutch.

Silicone lasts a year or 2 at least with me, I use it with the heat fin on the pipe butted up to the head.

I hammered out aluminium to match the wear in the head pushed it in around the pipe and hold it with a heat fin, it has a small leak which leaves a small stain over time.

skippy

Sad Days the All British rally has been canceled along with everything else.

skippy

That's a good cheap bike

skippy

That's the good thing about a B50 with compression release they are very easy to kick over all they need is a push with the leg.

skippy

I use 98 in all my small engines because its the only thing that lasts in the tank. I had to ride home after running out of fuel once after my mate gave me some of his 91 and it was crawl and steady on the throttle or massive pinking.

skippy

I saw a new one on face book for $300 steel and $370 for alloy.

skippy

I turn the throttle stop up half a turn on mine to start it when its cold and tun it back when the engine warms up.

skippy

Are tanks worth that much?

skippy

This is getting serious

skippy

How many francs will it sell for?
