No it hasn't .... I'm getting 12v plus at the pump connector when it's being kicked over - it was lower than this with the old capacitor - and 14.2v when running. Rectifier has been bench tested- see earlier post... And it appears to be fine ... I guess proved by the Voltage output when running...
If you have swapped everything else, and ruled out the loom ....
Currently running a hotter plug. Tried it yesterday and bike wouldn't run even with 12v on the pump. Pump was running and I had a spark .After checking various things over two hrs and kicking it in between it fired up and ran fine without coughing or running rich?.... After letting it run up it restarted fine while it was warm. However the longer I left it and the colder it got the harder it was to start...ecu, tank/pump, coil and injector assy have all been put on other bikes with no issues .... The test bike started and ran fine each time.
Well, a friend's son is a MX fiend at 15 years of age and he does find trials "boring" ... like his Dad says, if they did rules like Junior Kickstart where there was a timer he'd be there like a shot!
Im not a fan of lots of things that others choose to do but the popularity over the last decade of the normandale and the fact that lots of events including the SSDT have these classes means you are probably in the minority.
Im guessing you're not over 40? As you brought up George Orwell here is one of his quotes:-
“Every generation imagines itself to be more intelligent than the one that went before it, and wiser than the one that comes after it.”
If make A had many more highly positioned riders than others you might be able to extrapolate but, really, it is the rider that is the factor at that level. No matter the make it will have been tweaked to suit the rider and quite possibly be nothing at all like the production model, the Montesa being the extreme example of this, perhaps changed to be more like the make he came from as that's what he likes.
Pete, do you feel the 4rt has improved your results ?
Luckily it's not much of a problem up here as most trials are held in well open spaces not enclosed valleys. or really short circuits.
You do get the odd "classic" bike that there owners seem to run on a mixture of old diesel and tar usuallly compounded by an exhaust loud enough cause earth tremors and leaking enough oil and fuel to run a modern bike on.
If you get stuck in a queue with a coupe of them the fumes will be the least of your worries.
A few minutes listening to there owners going on about things like Sammy Miller points ignition steering head angles you will lose the will to live probably hoping the fumes from their disgraceful mounts will cause you to pass out.
Hi Breagh, just worked out who you are, it was very nice to meet you on Sunday, and to answer your many questions. I've checked the other details that seem to fascinate you, yes the spokes are double butted, the exaust is made of steel and the wheelbase is 59 3/4 inches. Sorry I can't answer about knitting or crochet. There is a clinic in Kirkcauldy where you can get treatment with complete anonymity.
Dont get me wrong if a bike was available for a grand then i think it holds a certain appeal to some and possibly an introduction to the sport, but at 1500 you'd be much better off with decent 315, surely?
Under a grand, even made in China (at starvation wages) you couldnt make anything of usable quality at that price.
Hi. Here's a pic of my modified TLNW320. It's also in the thread 'Show me your Twinshocker'.
Anyway, the steering angle has not been modified. The pegs have been moved down and back, the bars have been raised and as you can see, the rearend has been lifted. The distance center to center of the rear shocks is now 375mm. It turns on a sixpence so I personally see no need to mod the steering angle drastically. Each to his own though. a mod which works for me, might not work for you and vice versa. I'm 1,83m and tip the scales kitted out at around 105Kg.
The shocks are the latest on offer from NJB by the way, cost ca. €170.
@brownie001 - extending your shocks steepens the head angle, you do realise that ?
I've done the footrest position but I can put that back to standard if I want to in the future - the headstock would be a different matter and I think I'll leave it well alone.
Climber clutch trouble

Has the basket the same part number as the original. I think earlier clutches had more plates. I assume you have slack in the cable ?
