Methodical, calm and clear advice is always helpful and welcome. Thinking back to when the current problems arose, I was 20 miles into a 50 mile...
Yes it is Henk. Definitely heart over head! Still searching. Any leads on here?
Hmm. Both plugs very sooty. No signs of lean running. I guess that makes an air leak less likely? Awaiting delivery of a compression tester.
Grateful for your clear feedback Travellingman. You and Arquebus are a great help. Will pull the plugs this morning and do a compression test....
Thanks Travellingman. At the moment I have not been able to get it to tickover which is why I was running the revs up until it was steady on the...
Further follow up. Continued to fight with poor running and sometimes no running on horizontal cylinder. To cut a long story short, I have now...
Good shout. Will give them a go. Thanks.
I know its a long shot but I’m looking for any forum members who can help me in my quest to track down a 500 sport desmo parallel twin. Due to...
I think so. Renewed the pick ups, plug leads and caps. Got a good spark on both cylinders. Got the engine to run and pull full throttle on the...
Stripped of alternator cover and measured the air gaps. Both between 1.3 and 1.4mm. Haynes value is .6 to .8. Is the air hap adjustable? Is it...
Certainly its not...but it has to compete with a Laverda and an MV for my affection. At the moment, its a sulky brute!
Indeed Johnboy. But I am enjoying the learning curve. I have invested in a shed, a proper lift and am building up[ the tools. Just need the...
OK. I have been out to the shed and done slow and methodical checks. Swapping over coils, pickups, leads plugs and caps and these all give a spark...
Sorry Arquebus. Typing trouble. It is the vertical cylinder that is not sparking. Agree, I will be renewing all those. And doing more checks today.
Hi all, Just asking where the best UK source for spares, electrical bits, cables etc might be? I've used Stein Dinse in the past but I've been...
Swapped plugs and caps but not coils...that comes next!
OK, my noodle is now baked! Went back and took my time today (I was excited to have found the apparent cure to my problem yesterday!). Measured...
Update! Got proper airbox lid and a new filter. But before I fitted them, I started bike up and got to nice tickover...even with no filter... so I...
My top breather pipe just hangs in free air in the same way! Maybe this was a "performance" mod from years ago??
So my pilot circuit seems just fine. Starts, ticks over and runs fine up to 4K. Its a very definite change over point. Also, the motor bogs if I...
