The MV - I think the problem was that they did share - as it leaned the uphill carb went lean and the downhill one about two feet away went very very rich...When they push started it one guy ran at the back holding it dead vertical...

I save Dave the trouble Honda 100 powered Honda. Not thats its a Honda mind you.

no 150s here. My 50 & my 100 are now in RS125s, although I did do an A/C 125 in the RS.
The RG/V 250 has a 350 in it which in turn is now a 500 if that counts.
My van has had many different engines in it.(all in the back mind & usually attached in a bike)

Well some frustrating times. As I alluded to in the ESE thread I decided I might have a clutch slip problem that manifests itself after a certain power level. Really weird & I've never seen a clutch let go at the top, usually if it is going to slip it does it on the way up the steep part of the torque curve.
If I'd been paying attn I'd have thought about the way it ramped up on the dyno where the trace disappears a bit after 10,000 & it just seems to revs quickly but fall off power on the dyno. Also at Ruapuna on tall gearing it was slipping at high revs, well actually at lower ones too for a while & then it got better, but didn’t rev out much, hmm.
Mike made me up a clutch pack with the extra fibre in it some ten odd years ago. His works fine & with just some 1mm washers holds back his 30hp. No reason mine should give any problem with considerably less.
So what the heck I have another engine so I pull the plates out of it & measure the plates & pack. Hmm, seem maybe a bit worn on the old ones, maybe 0.5mm over the pack. Useful but not a smoking gun.
I’d also thought to compare the clutch springs. Line them against each other, hmm the old ones are if anything 1/2mm taller than the old ones.
But wait a min. They seem to be skinnier wire. And less coils.
Ahh. A picture forms. When I gave Mike that clutch pack I did have a 100 one but I had a lot of parts left over from my MB50s. It appears it got assembled with 50 springs, and Honda being Honda had a different part for them.
Clutch lever now noticeably firmer.
So all bets off & back to the dyno to see if this makes my runs more consistent. Maybe Sunday.

Good work,let us know how it goes ......

Yeah knowing the history of this bike it won't give up that easily.
I have milled the new cases and passing them onto a mate for some horse-trading welding that will line a reedblock up in a more appropriate position. Then it will be make new mounts & buy new seals/bearings & I'll have a non leaking set of cases.
That is unlikely before the GP if I'm honest. But I'll transfer the interim barrel, ign, pipe, over & work on the top end I want to build.

Looks like I need to check a few things out in the garage as I have never noticed the difference in the springs and I have a few clutch packs from various MBs lying about. I always thought the only difference was one more pair of plates in the 100. Gary has commented about his clutch slipping a small bit when cold. The springs may be the culprit.

yeah who would'a thought?

Well some clutch springs can = about 6hp. All my previous tests were seemingly in vain. Just about touching 24. Retrying some previously tested things, but gave up due to a lack of bits at the dyno.
So at least this is making a bit more sense. So we have; leaking crankcases, wrong size reedblock in badly placed inlet, interim pipe for interim barrel, low com head awaiting water cooling & an ign that I can see move the curve about 300rpm without falling power so clearly some extn of the curve if I had a programmable, sadly short of the pingas to do so.
Some of Avs cast off tyres arrived (thanks Malc & Hels) & should be 8yrs newer than what is on the 100 currently. A third more power than previously; What's the chances of decent weather this sunday?

Man I hate unbeading tyres on some rims they just stick & stick.
Sanding/scotchbrite them down for a key tonight (opps its Valentines, so maybe just do a rough job, . . .and then go sand the wheels) & repainting them with a rattlecan of Enamel stuff which is supposed to be hard as. Then leave for a couple of days & throw the tyres on. Maybe wait till the sund morning & decide whether to put the old wets on for Kaitoke.
Guess I better enter this GP. 6 weeks till Taupo.
