Pigfords OLD effort......now JULES NEW PROJECT!!!!!

[Pigford]

Piglet you got it half right

were those your jim jam's you were wearing

I was wearing my boiler suit - which has my name on them...

Al, must admit, Ray did seem a bit faster than I remember, but not that much

Gotta tighten exhaust (blowing here & there) set ignition (as I guessed it for the initial start up).

I have used Tesco basic mineral (20-50w) to run it for a few miles, then will put in new oil & filter

Got some nice K&N's off Noel McGuinness which will be added Waiting for some s/s lines from M&P to do brakes

Can't waint to go for a spin

[Padders]

Looks good Mark can't wait to see it in action.

[paul doran]

Exhaust & stuff is just cobbled together for the moment... but ran her for a couple of minutes...

somehow the words cobbled together and Piglet go hand in hand

[Rich]

That's really nice Mark - will you be leaving the calipers on or taking them off to ride it

[Pigford]

Front caliper'S

[Rich]

Taking them off I see

Well done.

Regards Ted

[paul doran]

wait till he gets to finishing it
anyone know when CMM are giving away more spanner's

[Pigford]

Right then..... had a spare few hours to have a bit of a fiddle with the bike

Its still a PIG to start........... Battery is well charged..... but just turns & turns...

So, decided to fit the Dyna S Checked voltage to coils.... only 1 volt less than at battery..... so I assume thats OK

Before when it was eventually running, would "hang-up" on revs..... Now this was NOT due to sticking slide or tight throttle cables

It was on 145 mains & 25 pilots... & tried fuel (like air) screw out from 1/2 a turn to 2 turns... Float height 18mm

So decided to change pilots & mains... Carbs off

Fitted 30 pilots & 155 mains....... She did start but still took some time



As you may well have noticed shes running a bit rich..... but sounding a bit smoother.....

[tlc]

Crikey Mark. There`s as much coming outta the carbs as there is out the zorst

Starts alright though don`t it

[Pigford]

B*****d only starts OK once warm...

She still "hangs up" on the revs tho

Could be coz too rich.... all that excess fuel making it rev

But its such a sod to start up Fuel is getting thru & spark seems good

The carbs blow back is coz of the lumpy cams I haven't degreed them in yet, just set them up as they were

[tlc]

No probs. Just stick it on the centrestand and kick it over

[Ginger Bear]

Piggy,
1 volt less at the coils is quite a bit. Get yourself down to Maplins & do the relay mod. Everything to gain for a fiver or so. I have it in my head (read it somewhere) that while spark looks ok, once under compression it is weaker. Could explain poor starting

Oh yeah......... Your bum does look big in those overalls

[steve.w]

could be valve clearences but it sounds like the carbs are goosed

[Al]

Mark i think the photobucket link has gone on the fritz. I only get a black screen or is that what you meant about it running rich?
