If it sat for a while you can get light rust on the cam for the points. When you do try to start it this quickly wears the heel of the points and puts your timing out. Try new points and stick a condensor and plug on at the same time. How healthy a spark do you get when you kick it over ?
Consultants, those trained in the art of supplying you with solutions to problems you never had! Real experts in your field!
Most industry has been *******ized enough by the so called experts! What about the surveyors, they want to do a survey and report!
Make all your clients HAPPY! What about those you cannot!
In the real world, there are about 10% of your customers that take up about 50% of your time and production! These people need to get a reality check!
Like Leaches, they will suck you dry, all for their own profit or benifit, and they do not care. Think someone owes them something!
Add the government compliance issues to individual business and industry!
How anyone survives without telling the lot to p*** off is a mystery to me!
Add a top heavy management that has nothing to do but bust your balls in an effort to make things look as though they are doing something! Mostly overpaid, accounting, numbers their specialty! The remnants of things already past! Yet they hold so dear! While few have foresight, and fewer have insight and enough intelligence or common sense to do anything!
Due to the current financial situation caused by the slowdown of economy, Management has decided to implement a scheme to put workers of 40 years of age and above on early retirement. This scheme will be known as RAPE (Retire Aged People Early).
Persons selected to be RAPED can apply to management to be eligible for the SHAFT scheme (Special Help After Forced Termination). Persons who have been RAPED and SHAFTED will be reviewed under the SCREW program (Scheme Covering Retired Early Workers). A person may be RAPED once, SHAFTED twice and SCREWED as many times as Management deems appropriate.
Persons who have been RAPED can only get AIDS (Additional Income for Dependants & Spouse) or HERPES (Half Earnings for Retired Personnel Early Severance). Obviously persons who have AIDS or HERPES will not be SHAFTED or SCREWED any further by Management.
Persons who are not RAPED and are staying on will receive as much **** (Special High Intensity Training) as possible. Management has always prided itself on the amount of **** it gives employees. Should you feel that you do not receive enough ****, please bring to the attention of your Supervisor. They have been trained to give you all the **** you can handle!
Aye, you see! A right tite sscootsman can run that crap as premix as well! Actually, the uused stuff from the local garage works better for the premix, as t'is, it always partially burnt already, all you have to do is finish it off! Does samoke a bit, but not a problem less you are the one behind in the que!
Ye can puut the crapin ye furks tou! They dun't care!, Oil ye'r friggin chain with the remains, so ye'r recyclin crap!
Yeu caneven yews it to spank the monkey if you like, has better lluubricating properties!
Dont know if they make them work better, though suppost to as more rigid. Alan Whitton 01246 419 805 does plates, replica hubs, frames, PVL ignition and lots more.
No injury but hard to explain to the passing dog walkers. Trying to clean a tight practice section with small round stones at the start of a steep climb. Kept lossing a dab or two, determined to clean it gave it a real handful, wheel spun, gripped, bike went right over my head and ended about 6' up a tree wedged in the fork of two branches. Took some time and help to retrieve.
There should be an adjuster on the of the carb, will probably have a black rubber cover on it, ease the cover up, making sure that you dont pull the cable with it. Turn the adjuster anti clockwise looking down to take out the slack. Before starting the bike open and close the throttle and make sure you can hear the slide clunk as it closes. If ok push the cover back down.
Many thanks for the replies, certainly an interesting perspective.
I myself have never ridden one but will remedy that this summer.
Any period brochure pics would be fantastic. My friend has gone with the geen Kawa tank and not the gollner yellow peril as I think they were known.
In my whole riding experience i have only ever seen 1 compete in a trial that was in south yorshire in the late seventies ridden by a guy called Chris Pears I think.
I think I might have the original book that came with it, more like a workshop manual if memory serves.
I think that is a very accurate assessment of the KT. Must be a few of them kicking about this part of the world as I seem to remember 4/5 at the time. My one was very reliable and was used to commute as well as compete. I would be interested to try one one with modern tires, rear shocks etc. The only problem I had was it ran out of sparks during a very damp period, the cure at the time was to put the CDI unit somewhere warm for a few days. As you say the forks were not a strong point, I recall that sometimes they would kick back for no apparent reason, usually sending you off in the wrong direction. Do you use the chain oiler ? I doubt it as it was fantastic for spraying the stuff everywhere, or not coming out at all. Do you think it will ever achieve classic status?
Not on a Gollner, but I'm using Falcons on a standard KT and they work very well.
I've had them with a slightly longer top mounting (12mm approx) to help with the steering and also dropped the yokes about 25mm but Gollner may well have different steering so applying same mods to that may not work the same.
How do you like the KT ? Not a bike that I found to be exceptional in any department, but still not a bad bike.
