Will I get my 100 ready in time for Taupo?

[F5 Dave]

Well after my GP debacle where the clutch stopped disengaging, the basket is back together with some peened bolts & the btm end spilt to replace the bearing behind the clutch that got mullered by the precautionary washer mentioned above + the gear shaft polished to remove said washer debris. Bottom end back together.

Thoughts turned to the ignitech that I've had for ~10 months. I'd made a spacer for centralising the stator & just getting some material set up for the outer spacer. A mate showed up sat night & over a bottle of wine or so I've run most of the wires required to get it to run. When I fit the stator I'll test it for sparks & then wrap the loom. I've branched off the wires near the back of the bike (I mounted ign under the seat after some debate but best waterproofing for non faired bike) that will eventually be for power jet, TPS, shifter & so on if I get around to those things.

I've left the other wires in the loom & they can be unwrapped & provide output to tacho, shift light, input for knock sensor, power for EGT or whatever else, heck I may need to get an upgraded output regulator if I fit all this stuff.

But the main impetus is to get power so I can run the water pump & that will be next, however the ign should net some power by itself as the RM one wasn't as good as the RS, & the RS could be adjusted for best midrange or best top, but not both. Some extra over rev would be very appreciated.

maybe time to see the light like bert (-:..

He he he. Coz Bert has a 4 stroke that will go all the time. he he he.

[F5 Dave]

So,like how often has Berts bike stopped lately?

Shit stirrer

Yet another one.

lots; could make a list but no one would bother reading it anyway. Found a couple of major issues that need to be redone from scratch (mainly the sleeve that didn't have a top step in it, thus when she got hot in welly earlier in the year the sleeve dropped)...

So long winter of building again for the next north island series and GP (lucky I'm so busy that I've not got time to race anyway).

[F5 Dave]

oh, I thought it had gone pretty steadily since the bearing debacle. Actually Dave did mention something about the sleeve.

[crazy man]

Maybe that's a coincidence that it’s written next to RS125 then isn’t it?


Bullshit dispensing time:

Depending on the dyno (so lets talk std dynojet) the average RS will put out late 30s. A pretty damn good one about 45. Overseas big $ trick one about 50.

There is probably only one bucket touching 20 hp in Wellington & it belongs to Speedpro. My old H100 did 17 & kicked the butt of most (dunno about now with the pipe change & airbox/jetting).

With another barrel/pipe (when I almost won the Chch Battle of the Buckets 4 yrs back, before the bottom end died a few laps before end) it measured 24hp on a pretty optimistic lower hutt bike shop dyno. I suspect this would read 20hp on a dynojet. Made it too hard to ride on kart tracks.

Anyone claiming 22 hp in wgtn is deluded or measuring on a dyno that reads high.

l like old posts

Why? At the time it was totally true

l know but fun looking at them. funny how things change. never thought 30hp at rear was possable

[crazy man]

24mm carb is pathetic even for a bucket!
So whaddayareckon? The F4 125 aircooled 2-stroke rule to limit carb size to 24mm is quite a limitation. Probably why there aren’t any fast aircooled 125s.

I mean compared with a water cooled hot 100 that may be running a 34 (RS 125s run 39 & bigger) the 24 has an area of 452mmsq compared to a 34 of 907mmsq. That’s half the size for a piddly extra 25cc & aircooled to boot!!

So who wants to front up to the next MNZ doodacky & give those poor 125 guys a boost, say 28mm might be better? (615mm).

Actually there are some guys I believe who are running 28s & none of them seem to be cleaning up.

[crazy man]

ha ha eat your words

[speedpro]

I've been yakking to the Wobbly one and he's confidant of getting at least a few more than 30hp nowadays. If only I had nothing else to do.

[F5 Dave]

Ok have to take the heat on that one

Um fuck that. ESE and Green get 30hp from their 125 aircooled 2 strokes. They don't need any help in that department.
