tell them to turn their tele or radio up or their hearing aids down they wont hear you then

the original poster of this hasnt been on here since november 2015 so might be worth sending him a private message as he will get email notification then and if he is still about he might reply

you can try these guys http://partfinderuk.co.uk/ they do all the searching for you and any breakers who have the parts then ring you with prices saving you all the hard work,the fronts are hard to find as its normally the front end that has been impacted

tom pm me your full name i will give admin on the page a nudge they will contact you before adding you

as you have removed the wire then it should not be a problem as already been said as bike has been over on its side i would check battery level and if it is very low i would also be chukcing lots of water all round the area it has leaked onto to dilute it as much as possible it may cost you a new battery

Hi, could be a blocked vacuum pipe from the carb to the tank or the petcock could be faulty, turn fuel tap to off, take fuel line and vacuum line off the carb, have a container to catch petrol already in the fuel line, once any fuel has stop running from the tanks fuel line turn on the petrol at the cock and suck on the vacuum pipe ,if petrol flows again the vacuum pipe and petcock are ok, this will check that you are getting fuel to the carbs

if its vacuum fuel tap it might not have an off position just on reserve and prime if so could always try it on prime and see what happens as that could rule out or confirm vacuum issue

timing out mixture out wrong heat range spark plug,did you bleed the 2 stroke pump when you refitted the engine and have it running a on premix in the petrol to ensure it was getting the 2 stroke oil it needed?

if the cable adjustment doesnt do it as joe say clutch cover off and check you have put it all back together correctly with the plates in the right order

you want the points to start to open at 2mm before top dead centre

have you seen this

where the back plate the points are mounted onto is that held in place by 3 screws that go into the main casing?

you should be able to see a t and f mark on the rotor the points should open at the f mark then just after it be set to correct gap and the t mark will be for piston 1 (left) being at tdc

mate of mine is selling this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/yamaha-600-fazer-99-plate-/201816479620?hash=item2efd331784:g:o2wAAOSw2gxYoHKZ

just need lights now really you think a 6w solar panel would run them lights you listed joe as ive got a solar panel for battery on the bike so when im not charging that i can plug lights in instead

but did you spot the er5 joe

its a great page tom over 3000 uk sportster riders on it and yes im there as well

but................but..............................but .............................will leave it there

tom have a look on facebook this group is excellent and purely sportsters only https://www.facebook.com/groups/sportstersicknessuk/

no idea if this forum would help but it might be worth a look at http://www.aircooledrdclub.com/smf/index.php?PHPSESSID=fp7l8ngbbh1sd2gaevbdqvj9s2&

also worth looking into is the 250 the same gearbox as it widens your search for parts failing that it might be trips round autojumbles or trying www.partfinder.co.uk

does this ring true for many on here
