Gary's "only" got a 4stroke......

Charles

I see, we have said to other people that if they have to bring a 4 stroke because they have blown their 2 stroke up the week before or its not ready then I guess thats ok.

Ideally needs to be something of the era and not some straightline missile thats going to upset everyone by blasting past them on the straights and then getting in the way round the twisties if that makes sense.

By the way, T-shirts available again this year, see here...

Get yer foot put down with him Charles,it will just keep happening,until you turn round and tell him"Going on my holidays-if you like it or not!"
Gutted to here that mate .

ummm running out of time. Engine rebuilt but no sparks . Got to look at that tomorrow afternoon. Wish me luck if I don't turn up I'll still be in the garage. [-o<

Ummm not looking good, got a spark and the engine fires up but two helicoils in the LHS on the freshly replated barrels have failed. Which results in a lose head which wont hold water.

Time to look at some replacement cylinders I think. So as it 17:30 and I'm out of gaskets, patience and good will I'll just have to concead defeat.

Can't you just replace the helicoils that failed?
Also, has anyone tried using studs instead of the standard head bolts, as this may reduce the chance of stripping threads in the barrels. Just a thought.

I got a set of barrels here with studs, seems to work fine.

Nope they have pulled the thread out of the barrel when they failed so I can't re-helicoil them
