Team GPR

[Bert]

Unless its from the guy with the worst spelling and grammar on KB.
I was asked to interpret and read out some notes, (i had written) the other day by one of the office ladies, Problem was even i couldn't read it

Join the club... I've not allowed to hand write notes. Chicken scribbles worse than doctors scrawl...

[Henk]

I also struggle to read my own writing at times, someone want to come up with a Freudian theory of some sort?

[Bert]

Though I think I'm not doing too bad; given that hillbillie is my first laugange...

Speaking of hillbillies:

an ‘Evening with Guy Martin’ on Monday 23rd December at the Wanganui Room, in wanganui – Infusion from 5.15 –8pm

tickets available from Joe Lett ltd

Monday night road trip GPR boys. He would be a very interesting chap to listen too.

[Henk]

We're going down Christmas Day. Come and see us, we'll be hanging out with Helen and Malcolm in the cemetery.

no he is not john britton

[husaberg]

no he is not john britton

Probably says a bit more these days though.
I knew John only enough to say hi to. he was a friend of a guy from work, He was a charismatic guy in a salesman kind of way. He had a way about him.
Kind of infectious enthusiasm. He was especially good at getting clever people to do stuff just for the love of it. I think that was his gift that and a vision for how stuff should look and simplifying things.
Me i'd rather hear Phil Irving speak myself.

We're going down Christmas Day. Come and see us, we'll be hanging out with Helen and Malcolm in the cemetery.

It is the day of my family Christmas gathering; every year we all meet up on Taupo Quay (or the red lion for breakfast) and try and spend the day together, on the truck grandstand (you all though one Watson was bad enough, try twenty)... some end up too pissed to remember the racing vividly.
Long family involvement (and support/sponsorship) of Boxing day, dating all the way back to Matarawa Valley Loop and Motoua gardens (not my generation of course)...

Chances are I'll have to have time out, so I'll wander over and have a beer.... (that was the sort reply)...

Fuck yeah, i knew john quite well and he was shall we say socially limited....great at a very narrow focus.

i met Irving and went to a talk he gave, the old bugger could tell stories brilliantly - and he'd been there, done that, built this, ridden from there to there,met literally everyone....

Guy Martin I'd like to hear but won't be at wangas, and i suspect that if he's well primed to talk, you'll probably need an interpreter....

You might be right to be skeptical, I was basing the 25Watt output on what I had been told and have not been able to verify it for myself.

But whatever it is, by re winding the other poles it can be maximized and from memory my Ignitec setup needs about 1.5A or 18Watts to run at full power.

We don't have one of these stators fitted yet but the definitive test will be light bulbs of various wattage and a voltmeter in parallel with them to see what sort of load the alternator can sustain. 50 Watts wont be enough for the fuel injection system but would run an Ignitec easily.

I would be interested, I'm not trying to piss on it & that sounds like a reasonable test.

My CR one as I said is rated at 40W. It runs the ignitech, a 20W water pump & I've tried it with the solenoid carb & with a multimeter it will run through the gears sitting on ~14V without drooping.

Katie is having drama with her RS ign (maybe it is sorted now) but when some funds come to hand she'll want an Igni & a stator so would be good to keep taps on how this goes. (she didn't get the bike out of the pits on sunday, but it does look like it will be a weapon).

I am sorry to hear Katie is having ignition problems, Kal will probably the first with one of these Lifan race stators, now that you have rasied the point and got me thinking, we will certainly give it a load test and see what happens, hopefully it will be enough.

[F5 Dave]

Just spoke to her & she's hopefully got it sorted & found a few other teething issues so we'll run it up on the dyno & see how it shapes up. She borrowed some of me porting tools & has done a pretty good job for a first timer & on limited time.

If you can get any photos, please post them up.

I like it. Very interested to see how this goes.
We just bought in a couple of these http://www.ebay.com/itm/Complete-Rac...a41dac&vxp=mtr to power the ignis, would (possibly) go nicely with your CDI. Only problem is its the Honda taper so needs to be sleeved for our two strokes

If we could get a batch of taper sleeves made then between Berts ignition and these generators that would be a really good basic ignition option.

can you post a pic so i can see what you want?

So I did a bit of google time on tapers and found this

Half way down is a selection of replacement tapers.... Cheap...


CDI PROJECT

Day one testing.
Epic Fail yesterday.
Failed to pick up the "pickup trigger coil".

need to sort out wiring a little better (and re translate the wiring diagram).

[kel]

something more like this

[F5 Dave]

9hp but we managed to decrease it you 8 before we got it to barely run. Old RS ignitions, just rubbish.
