    Thanks man, needed to be a real old one with certain doda connector for the A-D card. I found enough parts to fix the original & another PC for future mishaps.

    Ah! Good stuff.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    No side cover? What is this; Orange County Buckets?

    No, it does certainly not. Even Mr Hodson thought it was a squeeze.

    wow 7 day delivery for some CF sheet for a $5 US postal charge. That's pretty sweet. Think I'll make up some new reeds tonight & not try my double up one which was a bit suss. I've even got some race stand bobbins fitted, woohoo.

    Ha. Well appears to have lost a whole bunch of power, like 2 through the range & 3hp on top. Putting the steel reeds back in didn't help much (but it did a bit).

    I think the only conclusion I can come to is to pop the top off it. Either there has been some damage, or some devcon has become dislodged (not unlikely the lazy way I did it), or it is now leaking more than ever, having been run for a meeting. Maybe I should leakdown test it & then pull it down.

    If it is leaking more I might just devcon the cases together. Could be the seals though, they are pretty old.


    sigh. why is it never easy?

    Because if it was, everyone would be doing it instead of riding smelly old Diesels.

    And these threads would consist of

    "Did some shit to my bike, 37 HP, Mint"

    And our lives would all be the poorer for it.

    Yes that's like mine but done better & as I envisaged mk2 (mk1 was as I've said conceived 16 yrs ago). They have welded a big bit on the top of the cases, I was trying to get away with not doing that, but yet to rough it out again with some broken cases I have.

    This last meeting was a bit of a disaster. Bike just wouldn't run clean. I was trying all sorts of things in desperation & tried a smaller power jet & threw in a new plug to be on the safe side. It now revved out. Much betterer. But the next race no changes & it went to poos again. Pulled the reeds in case they were broken, they weren't but changed them to be sure.

    Think it is a stator ignition problem. The RS125s of that era were a bit famous for it. same symptoms. I have 3 days before the bike has to be loaded up in Richs van, what on earth am I going to sort out in 3 days? Fortunately I remembered Sketchy was loading up his bike & offered me his ignition. Its now on the bike & I'll try test it out before giving the bike to Rich to transport down to the BOB (while I fly down like a factory racer). Otherwise its BOB on the 50 again & that is a big ask on the 50.
