my neighbour machined me this reducer out of a nylon billet its on the same lines as ones on sale to overcome the same problem fitting pwk's to fantic's all you do is use some liquid metal or upoxy glue to hold it on the carb

they should be separate or fold pipe in half and cut half way through it so you end up with a oval opening in the pipe which it can draw air through for both sides

after 4 events running at 3psi and walls not showing any signs of cracking, a small amount of wear after sundays trial, holds its pressure all week. either im lucky or other people have had tyres from bad batches, or fundamentally bad rim's/valves

im trying out a gecko at the mo and so far quite impressed with it, only done 3 events on it so far but the last was a real tyre tester (mud roots rocks and bloody wet) and it coped with it very well. I've allways run IRC's on my twinshocks and love em, my supplier said that gt had had some problems with some tyres but told him that mine was from a fresh batch so hopefully mine will be ok. will keep you posted on how it wears and so on

Torridge has a sw championship rd at beam quarry just outside of Torrington next sunday (26th), what you need to do is contact andy bramwell andy.bramwell@Hotmail.co.uk to get a subscription for the sw centre gazette (£20) per year each month it has all the entry forms in for that month or you will have to pay £1.50 per event for a form

http://www.jimsandiford.co.uk/ will have seals or http://www.ebay.co.u...=item35d0b576fc if you want to try the epoxy, jb weld is good I did a Honda tlm crankcase with same problem as yours worked a treat

possibly blocked filter on side of carb or float height is to low and you are running the carb dry (by the time you've started it again its filled up) http://montesacota315.com/en/

im looking forward to the knill, ripon tor/ruby rocks is a fab venue never been that hard in the last few years, hopefully will see ya there

I take it you have had the engine running whilst you have tried to adjust it ??

its at shallowford nr Lynton, those rocks are a lot steeper than they look on the video here's another at same venue no bottoms in it thou

I saw the bike 2 weeks ago it now lives on the edge of Exmoor looks lovely in the flesh but has the wrong carb on it and doesn't run quite right at the moment,i will find out what tank unit it is when I see the bloke probably this weekend, as for the cg gearing the tl's 1st 2nd and 3rd gears are close together for trials 4th and 5th are road gears would have thought cg gears were to high and to far spaced I had a tl years ago and if my memory is right I ran 10t 52t sprockets and only needed 1st gear in real tight sections as it was so low geared

sorry its not a picture but lots of bottoms in it

im running a 26mm oko powerjet carb on mine, jetted roughly the same as the old dellorto but ended up changing the 2.5 slide to a 3 from a keihin pwk

thank you lineaway, I had emailed Armstrong about it but had no reply back until today and like you said its the inner most plug There are two hex headed bolts on the underside of the engine on the left hand side as you sit on the bike. The oil drain is the inner of the two, but the outer is just the neutral detent cap, so it wouldn't be a disaster if you accidentally removed it. Don't over tighten the bolt - it is quite a short thread and I have seen many stripped ones! I havn't seen any with allen heads, so maybe yours have been changed? 'hope this helps cheers john

the putoline oil that im using is sae 75w so if Castrol do something like that it will be ok, as for the clutch I got away with only changing the friction plates the steel plates were like new in mine, but remember to coat new friction plates in oil before you fit them

first thing don't use ATF been there done that one, mine used to drag so I ended up fitting new CR 250 plates in it and now use putoline light gear oil problem solved its lovely and smooth with no grab, as for the steel plates being discoloured yes they have got hot but as long as they are not warped shouldn't cause a problem
