matchless0_1 Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 Hi, I,m building a pre 65 bantam D7. Not having touched a 2 stroke for about 30 years I dont know what i,m doing. however memory says that back in the 60s I saw an article by George Todd in which he suggested 1/16 off the top of the exhaust port, 1/8 off the rear of the piston skirt and an increase in compression would would provide more get up & go. In this new age can anyone tell me if this is indeed the way to go. any advice would be much appreciated. THANKS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy m Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 I too am in the process of gathering together parts to build a Bantam although it is a later D14. I doubt many of the Bantams in this years Scottish are D7s, more likely 14s. Everyone advises me to stick with 14 parts due to 4 speed box and apparently higher revving etc. Rex Caunt is your man to speak to re tuning them, he supplies pistons ignitions etc and a better cyl head etc.....

What have you guys got against Jim Pickering because the above post received a negative review ? Most people i have spoken to have thought his products are good value for money. I wasnt aware that Jim Pickering had done anything wrong ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy, get ride of the review feature, it allows w*nkers to pass judgement without the guts to put their name to it. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
