No. 120 down the main straight all going well... faster if there is a southerly!

Getting slow bikes to go fast is great juju.

Hope you cats have shed loads of fun.

Yeah mate... ProLites through and Through....

In fact there was one I race against at a track day last Sunday, and I tell you what, I actually struggled to keep up on my CBR......

I really shouldn't have waited until 6am this morning to put my bike back together.

Naturally it knows this and is refusing to run.

Looks like I'll be qualifying tomorrow morning with no practice time today.

Many thanks to Katman for stopping by and lending a hand during a busy day.

Still a bit stuck, unfortunately. The spark plug's getting some current, but not enough for a spark. I'm scratching my head over what we've changed that could've caused that. I don't have a Scorpio wiring diagram. Perhaps there are electrical differences between the earlier wire-wheel models and the alloy wheel version.

I may find myself racebikeless for the moment and petitioning Nigel tomorrow for a credit toward a Round 4 entry, I fear...

That's not funny, man. I'm pretty gutted right now, and kicking myself for not getting onto it earlier in the week.

I will be there at Round 4. Had a chat to Nigel and he sounds OK with crediting me an entry, thank goodness.

And you never know, Allan might be able to help me work some magic on it this evening.

You really shouldn't need a wiring diagram if all you've done is unplug stuff.

Given how cheap and nasty those critters are, I feel pretty safe assuming there is a mess of wires normally squished into the headlight housing.

I would start there. Common as hell to plug stuff back into something it didn't come out of when you removed shit.

Weak spark, instead of no spark indicates that the feed to your coils is less than it should be. Trace the wires from the coil to their source. (Not the ones that go to the CDI or pulse generator if they're real cheap). Chuck a multimeter on with the ignition on and see what ya got. Shouldn't be fuck all less than your battery.

If all wires have a notable drop in voltage (anything over half a volt) to what you have across the battery, you're problem is with the kill/ignition switch. Do this bit first, and do both tests with the ignition turned on.

Hmm im getting race bike bug again.Think prolites sounds good.Theres a few cheap bandits for sale.You think they would be ok to ride?
38hp and 144kg kinda sounds fun

Had fun at practice day today. Scorpio gets the learn a little bit with it's 1/3 less power, KRs and RGs pull 100+ metres on main straight. Good fun trying to catch up again when the corners start again!

Bandits are 4 cylinders. Minilites.
