huge thanks to bogan! Just been riding round on the TT! It Lives! Sorted out the timing issue and shes a minter. just at this stage you still need a support vehicle to start it................

Well done Bogan! To me that's the only thing it could have been other than something broken that we were'nt aware of, hard to keep a Yamaha down...

[cowboyz]

oh the other upside.. I rode it for like 5 mins and I havent fallen off it yet!

sweet as, always happy to save a bike from the scrap heap had some thoughts on the ride home. Firstly you got well lucky no valves were broken when it was being kicked/towed with the wrong timing ! and I reckon the electrics could use a bit of a tune-up, could well be weak spark stopping it from starting easy, also maybe lube/tighten the throttle cables, that stuff will be easier than pulling the carb to bits again anyway.

Good stuff lads! Are you taking it on the Forgotton Highway then?

[specter]

yeh I find the problem with carbs is I dunno how to tune em! clean em easy enough (cowboyz already cleaned them though) but I reckon there may be some stale fuel buildup in the jets which could be affecting the mix, trouble with that is you gotta acid bath it off, and trouble with that is the bike shops charge heaps to do it! I reckon it'll be spark anyways though.

hows the RG project going?
