I will fillet the Chocky fish myself as well.
But scott Aren't you still in B grade
It was in Kiwibiker August 1994 i kept most of the old mags.
But I can't find the one that has the write up mentioning me dueling With GSX1100's on my road race debut with my awesome 197 1954 James .(USD forks)
It said something corny along the lines i was a rider to watch in the future. Well apologies if you have watched cause it must have been very disappointing for you
Still waiting for a GP ride actually. My only prerequisite is i ain't riding no Yamaha's (even if Kenny come begging again) Cries like a baby and stomps his feet BTW![]()

The throttle plate or whatever you design must seal well.
I did a sliding flat plate with a hole in it design like they use in fuel injection throttle plates, that worked well on Champ winning jetski, as this got the plate real close
to the header and there was very little flow disruption when closed.
A small leak into the cavity will kill power real quick with an ATAC system.
Ive got a thing thats unique and new.To prove it I'll have the last laugh on you.Cause instead of one head I got two.And you know two heads are better than one.
The James was already a little over the 197 225cc or so alloy fins shrunk on 1 5/32 Anal carb and Expansion chamber .
If alas noise did indeed =HP it would have been a real powerhouse with 123 dB at Levels 3/4 throttle.Oh yes
No damping no handling No brakes we put on a larger brake and it was even worse 19 inch super skinny rims plastic tires.
I always wanted to do a Villiers based rigid for Cust with a Honda based Top end Especially to go hunting Manx's and 7R's.
Talking to Grumph it looks like he did build one.

Yup - and the mark one was a three speed rigid which seriously embarassed CB350's at an early CAMS meeting...before dropping the bottom out of the Villiers gearbox. The Mark 2 is a 4 speed spring frame which last time out - some years back - murdered the Ducati 250's before seizing as was inevitable...all on basically (very basic) a 197 6E. One day I'll drag it out an put it on alky and make up a belt primary for it too.
But you've never seen that Husa - what you've seen pics of is the Starmaker powered bike just finished and still sorting out.
Talking about old bangers doing the business, check this out!
A 30 + year old frame with a home brewed modified farm bike engine cleans up NZ1 bucket champs and skinny speedsters Nick Cain and Ali Hoogie. He also won the race including a full field of 150SS and 250 Pro Lites.
Really he might know Grumph he went to school with Moses. He sat next to him in Masonry classes
Thats him third from left at the back looking bored.
I guess we may know who ate all the last supper then?
What a 6E gee haul yourself into the 50's Greg
i had a 8E and Four Speed. I would have said about the four speed but I didn't think having four speeds would impress anyone other than the Vespa tuner
I forgot to mention it still had the original huge Brass flywheel as well for the inertia mind you.
Do you want me to post the pics of the Starmaker special.?

Jesus's dad! look like a rather portly chap........fat stig?
Its harder to lose weight than gain horsepower.
Actually he mentioned Jesus several times when he was talking about his front suspension too !![]()
Compare Pornography now to 50 years ago.
Then extrapolate 50 years into the future.
. . . That shit's Nasty.
It is very well possible to fit a disc valve to those Simson engines; it has been done on both sides of the engine (though not yet both on the same engine).
But the side-reed cases were readily available and they make sufficient power to win, though I keep saying I hate them; side reeds combine the worst of both worlds.
