Some of you may know, that funds have been tight for me lately. So after spending the weekend at Manfield helping the more fortunate have fun, I decided to get THE pit bike fired up again so I could have a giggle.
Loads of folk around here will remember it from when White Trash owned it, where it is responsible for more trips to the hospital than a double ended chainsaw would.
Since it came to Wellington the wee beastie has sent more people off to A&E still. (But it doesn't count since Riff Raff wasn't the only one sober enough to make the various trips).
Took sod all to make new wheel spacers for the back, chuck another brake master cylinder on it, and a tyre. What did take a long time was getting it to fire up! Intermitant spark has gotta be right up there on the near impossible to diagnose list. In the end, I took the seat off my daughters bike to see how it was wired up. That revealed mine was hooked up wrong, and after moving two wires, she fired up first kick. MINT
Thought in true KB style, I should start a thread to pre-empt the thread I start after I get back from hospital if it flicks me off.
Pictures to come, it doesn't quite look the way it did when Jimmy got it new, but it goes every bit as well and wheelies fuckin bonza.![]()
