Its harder to lose weight than gain horsepower.
In the riders seat
The owner certainly is
"If you can make black marks on a straight from the time you turn out of a corner until the braking point of the next turn, then you have enough power."

I think he prolly know's it's all a big piss take if he's read any of my posts before. Although... you seem to have missed it.
I haven't asked to use a bike for the BOB, only an idiot would let me use their bike if it was any good.
Such a sweet talker, I'm gonna give you the biggest wet kiss when I see you fucker.

Funny story, my old T500 used to run better on 30/40 than two stroke oil.Drew; you know you should use two stroke oil not 10-40 in the premix!!!
seriously; timing might be just a little retarded.. hopefully AJ had clear marks on the coil base plate to aid re-assembly.
or it might actually be the pipes. any small errors in length is going to kick your ass with cylinders that size.
Timing wouldn't explain why it will run with a clean plug, and not without though would it?

Sheesh, spring for some plugs ya tight fisted winka.
Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.

I will, but I only had a couple hours last night to work on it, and no one would have been open to sell some plugs at half seven anyhow.

Changed the plugs today whilst I was doing some other stuff, key on, fuel on, choke on, first kick, and pukka pukka pukka.
Took it for a quick hoon down the street and I am pretty happy with how well it goes. Will do some jetting to it, chuck on some nylon and it's ready to race.

yeah McQueen showed up on his std one & did quite well, they aren't too slow.
Hey I wonder for his race prep he retreats into a darkened room & recites "I am Lightening. I am Speed" (for car-toon lovers)
Don't you look at my accountant.

I could re mount the motr lying forward to get it to work, but then I can't run a chain. Hmmm, decisions decisions.

yeah & possible gearbox oil issues. vs compromise

I'll make an elbow rubber/plastic mount thing.

Someone wanted photos. Here's a couple from when the motor and 17in rear wheel went in. It's got pipes and shit now, but I don't gots no pictures of that shit.

Man, time to have a Sweep up!

Na, the leaves soak up the oil.

Dunno if I'm ever gonna ride the bike at this rate. Had the head off the other day, and a head stud snapped when putting it back on. No stress, whip the barrels off to sort that, and for some reason checked for bearing play. Sure enough, the left rod has play.
Shoot up and pick up my spare cranks, one is fucked also, so out of four cranks I have one good one.
So yesterday I spent making a motor, I split the X4 which was the motor in the bike, but since it's easier to tune a piston ported motor than a piston/reed ported critter, I decided to go with a GT bottom end instead.
Cool, build a motor from a couple boxes of bits, go to bolt it in. Although the internals are identical, the casings are completely different so I need to mount the motor up...again.
Will have it running again this week, and over the next couple weeks get the X4 casings up to Sketchy for some modification. To go into my RGV roller for a bike that should be capable of actually winning races.
