No, it does not matter, have rotated one on its centre and randomly put one on a villiers engine

they do appear to be equi-spaced. I think you will have to check timing after fixing them. You will need a dti to find top dead centre and then the required firing point so that you can mark the flywheel if it isn't already. The copper coloured coils are just for lighting and should be removed if you are not thinking of adding lights

check the ignition using a strobe. They don't normally alter, but obviously someone could have built it up and hot checked the ignition. The system is identical to the suzuki singles of the same era. The flywheel is in 2 pieces as it has an extra weight added for trialing

yes, preferably a much cheaper one with slightly less grip so we can ease the sections back a little too

Thinking about tyres having replaced mine in the last few months, what are the thoughts on having a cheaper control tyre for classic events?

Just had a new very expensive X-Lite front and does anyone else remove the moulding flash like I do? I was surprised how much came off much more than recent IRC rear

Try retarding the ignition

Not on a modern bike, but I use it in my Greeves as it did have a tendency to seize and it's the most tenacious of oils.

It would run, but with very little power

It was running last year, John Penny is the owner and a nice guy but runs it as a sideline. Join the Armstrong/CCM trials group on facebook and ask the question there, it's a useful source of information too

I wouldn't bother. From experience the weight is more suited to none clutch use as it prevents the engine stalling. When I firtted the electronis ignition to my greeves trials bike, I left the weight off thinking being used to riding bikes with virtually none I would be fine, but it was almost unrideable. I was gutted to have to add over a kilo of weight to the bike as I've spent a lot of time and effort reducing it's overall mass

A friend had one of these and he fitted slightly longer shocks which steeped the head angle and increased the ground clearence

Have you tried Central Wheel?

It is a Rotax, but that might not help you a lot There was a guy on ebay breaking them
