    I would hate to interupt this budding bromance... but my SWM has a forward facing brake arm as all the Swm anoraks here in France including certain ex national and world champs from this neck of the woods did it ..and .. my Puma Bultaco was built with one too.. by some would say one of the best classic bike builders there is... just my two euro's worth.. 

    looked for you Ross on saturday ... were you there.

     

    Hi Hamish, was going till about Thursday, then with the weather and 5 hours each way, chickened out. Sorry to have missed you, hope you enjoyed it ?

    The original poster, siht stirred that he is, is a friend of long standing, I look upon him as a long term project, care in the trials community, as it were.....

    So is that your answer? Fashion? What was the link to google all about then? Whats your explanation?

    Levity, wasted. However anodised snail cams defiantly make your suspension work better. (thats a joke, again)

    FWIW, Danillo Gallizi has a forward facing brake arm, he's probably just a slave to fashion.

    Danielle's bike is interesting, with footrests moved forward, and a garelli back box. Why do you imagine all the works bikes (that I've seen) have this mod ?

    I have bikes with backward facing brake arm, forward facing arm, and fantic 300 brake plate. Hard to do a scientific test as they are all used and have different brake linings and brake cables. But in my examples the best is the fantic, followed with forward facing and last rear facing.

    That doesn't answer the original posters question......

    The o p didn't obviously understand the conversation !  FWIW, Danillo Gallizi has a forward facing brake arm, he's probably just a slave to fashion.

     Anyone have a good source for the 280 pistons? I’m going to rebuild my 1982 TL320 and  will probably need a oversized piston. Heard you can use 583 Ski Doo or Sea Doo pistons. I definitely want a two ring piston.

    I wouldn't discount single dykes ring piston, ran one for many years in a 240 Rotax.

    Sorry dude, wasn't trying to be rude. I didn't answer as i dont know how timing could change other than woodruff key going. The bike runs perfectly when cold.

    No problem, but faulty cdi may effect your timing causing overheating. Impeller is also worth checking as said above.

    Good news. Did you buy a petrol or air screw carb ?

    Was it running when you put it away ?

    Have you tried a new plug ?

    The timing should be fixed, look for tell tale marks incase it has moved.

    Check the woodruff key is present and flywheel tight.

    Check the reed valve (assuming it has one) petals are in good nick, no air leaks.

    What does the plug look like, this might give an indication of the problem.

    Is the exhaust clean internally ?

    Has it got compression ?

    Is the carb clean, and does the choke work ?

    Have you tried a small amount of petrol down the plug hole ?
