Thanks I think I'll get a bigger idle jet before he rides it. ta j

Thanks mate - does your exhaust header glow like that?

I just bought one of these engines new and fitted it to my sons bike. We have a 26mm oko flat slide on standard settings (100 main). On first start up it started easily but the header pipe glowed red from the heat, is this normal? Bit of a lumpy idle but other than that its sounds okay...

So what you're saying is the inlet adjuster is adjusted all the way out and there's no clearance? If that's the case (and the new barrel is exactly the same length - I assume you replaced the barrel not the sleeve inside the barrel) then the only explanation for having that problem on the inlet...

Most likely cause is the float is stuck open or there is some dirt in the float valve

1. Too exy and this is predominantly a china bike forum 2. Yes - and no there's no comparison and yes it's a different beast 3. Yes - get a 150 to 160 4. Absolutely! btw - welcome to the forum - I've also had an S4R and currently own a 1050 Speed Triple!

I bet you want that extra 0.5 REAL bad don't you?

Or simply pull the clutch out and soak the plates in kero overnight Reinstall and put mineral based oil in it - see how you go

Drain all old fuel Pull carb out and give it a thorough clean - soak jets in new fuel and blow out with compressed air Check operation of float in carb Replace carb and clean air filter Replace engine oil and install new spark plug Kick that mother over and amaze yourself with your own...

MUCH better air filtration = less dirt getting sucked into engine = longer engine life

Not all chokes have a butterfly - most of them don't actually I'm curious Jack - why don't you ask your mate? if it was his bike he should know

Yeah mate that's a genuine thumpstar I had one and thought it was a great bike

Hi all - I have a frame that I'm building up of unknown origin and I have just discovered the headstock bearings (which are missing) must have an outside diameter of 40mm instead of the standard 44mm. The headstock I have is the normal 22mm and 23.5 mm so I'm looking for taper roller bearings...

Give me a late 80's 930 turbo ANY day!
