eddie1 Posted September 16, 2013 Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 Cut open the silencer on my 200 and found why it would die when I cracked the throttle in second. This only happened after I had sealed the join between the front pipe and the rear silencer. Despite buring with petrol in a fire during the recent rebuild the box it was almost completedly blocked with 30 years of soot. It should run even better now. Anyone used caustic soda to decoke exhausts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

axulsuv Posted October 8, 2013 Report Share Posted October 8, 2013 Went out to the shop after work to check tire/exhaust clearance on the modified, but not yet welded reflex exhaust ... And patted my 240 on the seat confident in knowing I can put fuel in her and compete this weekend while my son get's to try out the reflex ... And my section glared at me and the box of parts !!! Damn italian girls ...! Glenn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lineaway Posted October 8, 2013 Report Share Posted October 8, 2013 Hey Glenn, made the old girl do 4 seven mile loops Saturday. Not bad for a bike that sat almost nine years outside. Had a great time. Our ITSA event is Roswell, NM next month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axulsuv Posted October 8, 2013 Report Share Posted October 8, 2013 Your Fantic suffered the same fate as the reflex I just resurrected ! the gas tank was rust filled inside to the indent of the gas cap , along with the bottom seams only a visual effect ! But it's starting and running good now , My son get's to try it this weekend . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axulsuv Posted October 16, 2013 Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 Rode the Trusty 240 this last weekend ... Did some steps and drops I didn't think I could do , to the amazement of a few modern riders ... I love the feel of my 240 , the suspension is finally tweeked to about perfection in my feeble old mind ,and the power curve of my 240 is just fun to ride Now to find some time to play/work on the section and teach young son throttle/clutch control on his reflex . Ain't life just grand ? Glenn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graham _a Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 Picked up some more parts for my 301 from the finishers today. Now it is time to begin re-assembly.

axulsuv Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 Took the rear silencer off the section yesterday afternoon to repack/ seal it up as it drips oil onto the swingarm from it's bottom most joint when the bike gets hot ... Found it had been repacked along time ago with house insulation and packed WAY to tight . picked all the old stuff out with a coat-hanger tool and cleaned it up and repacked it loosely with some good FMF packing , that looks like loose yarn ... Sealed it all up and test rode her , Better off idle response and a little quieter too ! Now to find time to do the rest of the work it wants !
