FOR SALE - Drew and Alan's sidecar build

[Shaun Harris]

Drew, cheers re Have ago day date, it has been 28 years since I last was in a sidecar. If I could, I would buy and race one now.

Hey what are thoughts on my post No #872

[Drew]

understood but, it turns in great you say, but then understeers back on the gas, that is telling me way to much Sqwat in the rear, either far to sot on spring and blowing throuth stroke or a combo of too soft a spring and piss poor compression dampning, I am guessing it is quiet hard on tyres also?

if you move the engine weight man, you are going to be opening up a huge can of worms to get it all set up again including re working the shock/s


1 step at a time is quicker and cheaper than re building the wheel dude

It's worth a try I suppose. Got any twelve or thirteen weight springs to fit a 98 R1 shock lying around?

no sorry man, I gave all I had back to Robert. A fermer rear will allow you to slide control it better also as Skrivy has said, then it;s about finding the correct tyre PSI when hot to ballance all out.

And DO NOT listen toa web site , or peter or paul when it comes down to Tyre temp and PSI either dude, find out directly from the tyre manufacturer them selves, ther are designed by a scientist for a reason

IT'S FIXED!!!!

Finally got the old girl running properly, thank God. Turns out it was the fuel pump. We had tested it early in the piece, and discounted it because it primed more than the minimum and ran at spot on the proper pressures. Turns out though, that whoever mounted it hadn't used petrol friendly rubber as a gasket. So it had gone brittle and fallen apart, leaving a black sand like substance in the tank, internal filter, and pump.

It has never gone as well as it does now, and I used to think it was fast considering it's pedigree. It's a bloody rocket ship now.

Huge thanks to everyone who has helped and offered advice. We were getting less and less enthusiastic every time we took out of the truck, with the season we'd had.
