ah, the good old days, riding around on a DS80 whilst on a powerful mind altering substance :D. i got video evidence that it enhanced my riding skills! stupid twostrokes. im going to have a gripe :) 1. the lady my mum knew, that used to race so had a collection of bikes... like an early...

aupost gets rid of em at 25 usually. i clocked mine over three times without ever touching the internals. was when i swapped for a 12v system with another engine that i got sick of them. hmmm. thinking touches of silver on piston could be it...valve hit piston, valve stems bent. if the inlet...

110 will suck on dust and sand all day and still keep chugging along even after the throttles jammed open with grit ;) theyll lug two guys, total weight 160kg, up a pretty steep incline even with a blown head gasket then proceed to carry us another 3km home... lifan or zongsheng or quing...

you will need a cdi unit and plug for it. a coil, an actual CDI coil, not "any 12v 1 or 2 wire" type. luckily just about everythings cdi now. try a standard pitbike one. then some solder and heatshrink tubing. wires from motor is easy. red goes red. blue goes blue, black or green goes black...

given up on trying to weld my bandsaw blades together. looking like a cruise after work tomsa. dreading schoolzones. what happened to looking left then right? hating the RTA or whatever they are now. loving that pig on 2 wheels that only glanced at me when i went past doing 130 or so... in a 50...

yee gods! i see an electric motor, a petrol motor, pedals...all it needs is a canopy made of solar panels and youre set! $5 a ride pays for petty and food, everything else just sort of happens... id love to see some dif and CV joints so pedals drive the front end. only reason i havent made...

ahhhh, hondas... notorious for rattles after any work. contemplating. 100 percent sure you put the right rocker and pin back into the place it came from? minor on a new engine, but after some service there could be some wear that tends to skew one way...flip it round and its now skewed the...

yay, old threads never die they just get longer! me myself always get a lump of bar, grind the end so it tapers out, and hit the end with a drill, so you get a sort of "bell" with sharp edges, nicely radiused to match the curve of the bearing... chuck it in the coals under the fire and quench...

acetone will melt the plastic... petrol will work but takes some rubbing. metho is a good one but ditto, be prepared to rub, and last but least "el cheapo" creme cleanser from woolies always worked on the tape smudges left on powdercoating...even pulls permanent marker with some elbow grease...

worth a drink

pulling em off and chucking on the fire? or was you more delicate likes?

i keep all my old parts in a box but never have the part that i need.

ahhhh, two smokes... they can be fairly easy to tune when theyre just brushcutters. hi and lo. get the high first, lean it out til it screams, back off a touch, then the lo...idle, tweak til it peaks, back off adjust idle screw...easy. once they get a pipe on them they get funky and airflow...

heh heh heh. a toilet brush... just dampen and roll in the sand ;) ok. back on topic! fuzzzy! i fiddled around with this demo software... after half an hour or so, i figured most of it out, resulting in a 3d "map" that looks like this... for a basic start point, it looks pretty...

another thread got me thinking about this again, its a subject thats been stewing away for years. i finally get it now. fuzzy logic and EFI. http://rjhowlett.complexnet.co.uk/papers/2004-2.pdf i actually cantacted the guy once, but it had just been a uni project on fuzzy logic, nothing really...

studying this fuzzy logic crap cus it may be handy... simple efi?
