For anybody that is interested. I fully intended to leave this old lump till winter but because the weather has been quite crap recently I just can’t walk past this thing without doing something. She is fully stripped down with cam and exhaust valve rocker and governor mech taking a bath in a bucket of diesel. Haven’t found anything drastic as yet.

Sounds like fuel issue alright. Electrical delivers to 1&4 and 2&3 cylinders of course.

Misc / Open / Spoke thread?
« on: April 08, 2024, 08:11:29 PM »
This has probably cropped up before but what is the thread on my spokes? I know that sounds like how long is a piece of string! Thing is I have probably 4 sets of spokes that were wrongly sent for my C90’s number of years ago, just cheap so not worth sending back at the time. Now I would like to shorten them and re thread them to fit a 14” wheel off a QT50. I couldn’t get my metric or imperial thread gauge to marry up to the thread. Anybody else encountered this?

Never managed a wheelie on the 500, but i was 21 stone at the time!
More than happy with both wheels firmly on the ground these days!😁
