Aha, I've just clicked on who you are. I was telling johnboy999 (he was at Mallory Park with me) you'd bought a MAR.

Has the timing slipped? Worth checking.

Is it sparking at the right time?

As per 'phone call, grind that powder coating off.....

Never taken one apart, so don't know......

Googled it...... Yamaha specs for this bike are : timing is 3.1 mm BTDC point gap .012" to .016"

If my memory serves me well, I seem to think 0.3 to 0.4 mm points gap at 3mm BTDC.

Also, have a look at the operation of the thermostat, is it staying shut when it should be opening?

If you've got a bit of a leak on the gasket, this can cause the cooling system to pressurise and force coolant out as you describe, any air finding it's way in to the cylinder can weaken the fuel/air mixture casing overheating.

Slight leak in the head gasket??

Mickey Mouse gets a call from his divorce lawyer, who says 'You can't divorce Minnie for having big teeth.' Mickey replies: 'I said she was f@#*ing Goofy.'

An air leak at the joint between the carb' and barrel will cause the revs to 'hang' and then drop back down slowly. Quick way of checking for a leak is to start the engine and spray the area around the carb' with WD40 or similar and listen for the engine note to change.

I've got a '58 Scottish, wonderful bike. I'll ask my wife if she'll laminate a copy for you if you would like one.

.... in The Eagle comic of the 9th of July 1960 and bought me a copy of it.

Subject: Teachers & Cops These are actual comments made on students' report cards by teachers in the New York City public school system. All teachers were reprimanded (but, boy, are these funny!) 1. Since my last report, your child has reached rock bottom and has started to dig. 2. I would not allow this student to breed. 3. Your child has delusions of adequacy. 4. Your son is depriving a village somewhere of an idiot. 5. Your son sets low personal standards and then consistently fails to achieve them. 6. The student has a 'full six-pack' but lacks the plastic thing to hold it all together. 7. This child has been working with glue too much. 8. When your daughter's IQ reaches 50, she should sell. 9. The gates are down, the lights are flashing, but the train isn't coming.. 10. If this student were any more stupid, he'd have to be watered twice a week. 11. It's impossible to believe the sperm that created this child beat out 1,000,000 others. 12. The wheel is turning but the hamster is definitely dead. These are actual comments made by 16 Police Officers. The comments were taken off actual police car videos around the country: 1. "You know, stop lights don't come any redder than the one you just went through." 2. "Relax, the handcuffs are tight because they're new. They'll stretch after you wear them a while." 3. "If you take your hands off the car, I'll make your birth certificate a worthless document." 4. "If you run, you'll only go to jail tired." 5. "Can you run faster than 1200 feet per second? Because that's the speed of the bullet that'll be chasing you." 6. "You don't know how fast you were going? I guess that means I can write anything I want to on the ticket, huh?" 7. "Yes, sir, you can talk to the shift supervisor, but I don't think it will help. Oh, did I mention that I'm the shift supervisor?" 8. "Warning! You want a warning? O.K, I'm warning you not to do that again or I'll give you another ticket." 9. "The answer to this last question will determine whether you are drunk or not. Was Mickey Mouse a cat or a dog?" 10. "Fair? You want me to be fair? Listen, fair is a place where you go to ride on rides, eat cotton candy and corn dogs and step in monkey poop." 11. "Yeah, we have a quota. Two more tickets and my wife gets a toaster oven." 12. "In God we trust; all others we run through NCIC."(National Crime Information Center) 13. "Just how big were those 'two beers' you say you had?" 14. "No sir, we don't have quotas anymore. We used to, but now we're allowed to write as many tickets as we can." 15. "I'm glad to hear that the Chief (of Police) is a personal friend of yours. So you know someone who can post your bail."

A young guy from Texas moves to California and goes to a big department store looking for a job. The manager says, "Do you have any sales experience?" The kid says, "Yeah, I was a salesman back home in Texas. "Well, the boss liked the kid so he gave him the job. "You start tomorrow. I'll come down after we close and see how you did." His first day on the job was rough but he got through it. After the store was locked up, the boss came down. "How many sales did you make today?" The kid says, "One." The boss says, "Just one? Our sales people average 20 or 30 sales a day. How much was the sale for?" Kid says, "$101,237.64." Boss says, "$101,237.64? What the hell did you sell?" Kid says, "First I sold him a small fish hook. Then I sold him a medium fish hook. Then I sold him a larger fish hook. Then I sold him a new fishing rod. Then I asked him where he was going fishing and he said down at the coast,so I told him he was gonna need a boat. So we went down to the boat department and I sold him that twin engine Chris Craft. Then he said he didn't think his Honda Civic would pull it, so I took him down to the automotive department and sold him that 4X4 Chevy Blazer." The boss said, "A guy came in here to buy a fish hook and you sold him a boat and a truck?" Kid says, "No, he came in here to buy a box of tampons for his wife and I said, 'Well, your weekend's shot, you might as well go fishing"
