    arrrgh! help! motor won't start

    thanks headsmess so is that the only way to get a good seal with the copper gaskets? i have heard of the lapping kits so i'll check repco out for one of those. regardless of whether it solves my problems or not it's probably a worthwhile investment in ensuring a solid seat for the valves

    yeah i think i'll have to give a standard gasket a go. i wouldn't think you'd get air leaking out from around the gasket given that the head is cinched up pretty tight but it's gotta be worth a shot!

    arrrgh! help! motor won't start

    haha, nah it's a fair question. i had it all back together. carb gaskets glued, spark plug screwed back in leads on. something's leaking from somewhere but i'm not sure where. i can't imagine having a thin copper gasket on would make any diff but can't say not having used one before

    arrrgh! help! motor won't start

    i'm hoping someone has some advice on this one for me. i pulled down the head and cylinder last weekend on my lifan 140. it was starting like a pig (taking 5-10mins of kicking the thing) but running fine once going so i figured there might be some issues with the valves not sitting completely...

    140 Postie Project hits the road!

    it's been a long time in the making so i'm pretty stoked to have finally got it sorted. she's noisy but not crazy loud. i'm sure it's gonna turn a few heads once the rego is sorted. it's turned a few doing runs round the neighbourhood while i've been tuning her up. do you guys run these...

    140 Postie Project hits the road!

    yeah i'm just going through the motions with an engineer now. should be no drama to get the engineer's report sorted and then it's as easy as a blue slip and rego. fingers crossed anyway! she's pretty unique at any rate so i've gotta get her on the road;)

    140 Postie Project hits the road!

    After many months of getting her sorted I've finally finished my Honda C90 Lifan 140 upgrade. Of course there's always a few more mods to run but she's running a treat and is a damn sight quicker and safer than with the old 3 speed 90cc engine in there. Here's a couple of before and after shots...

    lifan transplant into postie bike ct110

    g'day, i'm about to embark on a little transplant of my own so it's good to see that you guys have got some tips for me. i've got a slightly different starting machine in the form of a C90 which was the road (vs trail hence the T in CT90/110) going version sold mostly in asia. it's getting the...
