Totally unrelated to anything = when Roo was round on the weekend i was looking at his baby pics and hes got an alloy air filter (a [something] Dragon) anyone got a link so i can throw some more money at the old girl!

I can just imagine Roo as a baby, bet he looked like the ones of Freddie Flintoff.

Met him yesterday, damn he's ugly  Like Shrek after a stroke

If you move away from the standard air intake you will probably need to alter the carburation parameters.

Ah - i might be wrong but i seem to remember roo using the stock jetting (although hopefully he might put me straight on that..!

I am really no expert here but I would expect a change in the  pressure difference either side of the main slider to change the air/fuel mixture - a bit like a dirty air filter will make the engine run richer - no air filter will make it run leaner.

Only if the back pressure between a replacement air filter system is identical to the original would it run the same - others here will know how to fix any difference.

Aye that’s it Andy. I’ve standard keys in at the min but it’s not been extensively tested yet so not proven tbh.

Shrek? Really. Folk in glass houses and all that Ken.

This is the bestest I could find to what I think Ken’s passport picture looks like……..I kid you not

Since the beginning, Uncle Fester has been a barrel-shaped, bald man with a hunch of varying severity. He has dark, sunken eyes and is often seen with a deranged smile.

That’s actually pretty close Roo. Except Fester is my better looking relative

Well.just to keep you all up to date Ted has helped with the digital ignition issue....the black wire is not negative but hooks into the black feed from the ignition feed back to the ignition out in the munit....I've got an led....! Luck of the gods 3 years ago or so when I bought the ignition from Dave silver there was 2....thought they were both the same so just picked one...

To be fair Andy all I did was try to point you in the right direction with my logic - you did the actual work with the wires.👍

[ComfySofa]

Well Ted it did the trick sir! its one big group effort!

[ComfySofa]

Quick sanity check and update.....

Made some good headway. After wondering why the oil and neutral lights didnt work and doing a beep test with a multi meter thought id give motogadget jedi Roo a ring who put me straight in about 20 seconds - so, then after another hour ive now got a netural light and oil light both functioning correctly.

I bought a pattern frame which i could hack to pieces as i didnt want the stalks for indicators look so that got cut down and put on the front.

Wiring loom mostly taped up.

Tidied up the cable routing behind the front light also.

Away for the week but all thats left to do is balance the carbs.

Oh - got the v5 back which is now marked as historic - logged into tax it an its already been enabled.

[ComfySofa]

Voila.

Nice one mate, top skills and perseverance. Is there any meat in that yellow wire to take it under the central spar and away from anything bring in it or rubbing it? That’s all I can see from those shots. Top job buddy

Enjoy Welsh  Wales mate
