    Then you go fit a programable ign like a Zeeltronics & you need volts to get going or you can kick till the cows come. Dumb progress.
    Don't you look at my accountant.

    Same thing with the Ignitech I got for my 90 degree crank, it and all the other bits are waiting patiently in a box.

    Thanks for the tips guys . I havn't even had a look see yet ( feining disinterest), but the owner has hooked up another battery so the no volts thing might go somewhere, electrix I can do but I already have a pretty comprehensive collection of fucked pistons, even some in matching sets , and I dont want to add to it, so all tips are appreciated , can anyone reccomend a manual for it
    Thanks

    Sounds totally fucked, don't touch it. I'll take it off your hands for a box of Heinekin. You're welcome.

    I think I'd rather have the MVX. I did have some Heinekin left at my place, I had to give that away too.

    Lol. In response to the "Hyo" tags down the bottom. I had an inpromptu (sp) drag race with a 2011 Hyo GT250R a couple of weeks ago from the lights on the Hutt Road. After (literally) smoking the young fella, he pulls up next to me at the next lights and yells, "Dude, I think there's something wrong with your bike, it's smoking like hell!" Wont name names but it sounds like some young fellas have never heard of a two stroke. eh Emilio?

    All good mate, I look forward to seeing another MVX being returned to its former glory and hopefully getting a few running ones in one place at one time.

    Well it was the Honda auto tensioners of that era. Didn't get that problem on a Suzuki or a Yamaha. Maybe a mid weight Kawi,. . . but every bleeding 'orrible 'onda.
