  1. Nice one! Simply stunning Cracking well exposed shots
  2. Just a wee clubman trial Finavon Hill Nr Forfar Montrose & District Trials Club
  3. Yep . . . . . . . . . . . The Flask with my coffee in it did'nt work, cold coffee on a cold day is'nt a good combination
  4. Well I got to the trial thanks to you Had a good day, although a bit cold up here in Tayside And I did not to bad Once again .....................Thanks Oh! BTW F*ck the neighbours? I've listend to thier dog bark every night and every morning for the past fortnight
  5. Check the time You my man are a star It took a wee bit more than 10mins (and I'm fecked) But she's burst back into life Thankyou
  6. Thanks for that! I'm off to give it a go right now Watch this space
  7. I just got the bike back from the garage, they were changing the Oil Filter for me, so at the same time they gave it a wee service, plug and air filter too My son went to start it, as it sounded like it was going to start he gave the throttle a twist, it died.............................. Now nothing.................... I've tried all off the below, changed the plug (several times) The bike has always started 1st-2nd kick every time Theres a good spark at the plug I'm baffeled I have a trial in the morning, it looks like I'm not going to make it 1:Always start with no throttle - slow steady prod - make sure clutch not dragging - put into neutral if in doubt. If doesn't start fist time flick throttle open and let snap shut and then press kill button - do it a couple of times and then kick normal If it doesn't start then 3 long slow kicks with throttle wide open - slower than when trying to start it. Then try the throttle flick/kill button 2:Overdoing the air-filter oiling. Or cleaning. (I've took the air filter out) people tend to twist the throttle while kicking hard (hence the "slow push" works better) Solution? One or two kicks with wide open throttle, close the throttle and kick again. 3:Best way to get it started is to kick it once WOT and then without throttle. This is to flood petrol into the engine
  8. http://www.msport.uk.com/ I had a problem with my 4RT The owner of M Sport (Munch) came to my help, above and beyond the call of Duty I'd just like to say thanks If any other Montesa owner is needing spares, upgrades or mods He's the Man a very nice Man at that If only he was closer
  9. Thank you very much While I'm in there should I change the clutch plates If yes, what do you recommend I should use
  10. Thanks! I will take his advice I have the big owners manual and an exploded view of the shaft I'm just a little scared that bit's will ping out all over the place once I take the casing off

    Funny Slip

    I had a funny experience last night Unloaded the 4RT out of the truck, started it, 1st time as per Ran around for about 1/2hr Then Loads of noise....................Not going anywhere I took it the clutch was knackered But it hadn't showed signs of dragging in the past Lent the bike against a tree And farted around with my mate for an 1hr Started the bike up again away it went no issues But after another 1/2hr it started to slip again............... Any thoughts Gentlemen Thanks
  18. Who's been talking Before I strip the carb I'll slip into somthing more comfortable
  19. Ok did that! I'm now getting a spark But it aint bursting into life yet (nearly once)when I hit the side of the carb with a spanner So I drained out all the fuel (Tank & Carb) Replaced with new But still no joy I'll strip the carb in the morning & see what happens Thanks
  20. As in just pull it apart If yes! I've done that and scooshed it with WD
  21. Check the post Beta Drowned Not such the quick fix after all The bike took a dunking last week (2008 rev 3 200) It died after about ten mins of the soaking I'd thought I'd fixed it (with a hair dryer & wd40) It appears not so Theres No Spark....................................... How do I check the coil and the stator? I'm no mechanic but I can do the rudiments But when it comes to electricial Cheers in anticipation
  22. Thanks for the tip, I'll give it the once over tonight I think I left it up in the garage she'll go out this morning looking like she's been dragged through a hedge backwards No change there then
  23. After reading a few posts re: Stator I went and got her indoors hair dryer (I dont need one) out Up to the garage, and gave the poor wee thing a blow job dry Another few "Scoot's" of WD and a new spark plug 2 kicks later after a pampering it burst into life Panic over
