Re: Tiger Cub rear sprockets?

Hi In the sixties there was a company producing an alloy sprocket carrier, When I contacted them, 1972 ish they had ceased production but sold me a couple of raw castings & the drawings - perhaps they are out there somewhere ! There were also firms who could reclaim sprockets ( at the cost of 1 ...

Re: Ethanol

Hi Roger
When I first joined the forum I was met with such rudeness that I have not posted until this serious issue. Your reference to FBHVC document has repeated that. While I believe in second chances I do not do third ones. I hope that you consider that document value for money !

Re: Ethanol

Hi Johnny I am not surprised to see only one response to 60+ views, there is a lot of apathy out there. The serious damage is the acid attack particularly on Zinc. Most of the resistance charts do not even differentiate between nitrile and viton rubbers, lump all copper compounds together - bronze i...

Although the fuel was supposed to be Ethanol free it was not.Esso gave me a convoluted reply, it depends on where you live , which delivery firm was u...

Arrow Injection

Hi Alan I am using a megasquirt ECU ,picked one up on Ebay, nobody I spoke to knew if it would work on a 2 stroke twin but persevering, as you do, I have had it running. Not fully set up yet but promising. As I have never been happy with the lubrication I have changed a lot, but before I go for max ...

Re: electric start leaders

Hi Ivor
The earth brush terminal looks to be in a different position to mine but you could always tap another hole for them as it only connects to the main body, just be careful to miss the field coils inside!!

The battery I used is 12v 12AH at 150mm x 69mm and 150 high a little larger than standard but can be made to fit. You will loose th...

Re: electric start leaders

Hi Ivor The Suzuki 185 Dyno looks very similar to mine, how many brushes has it? The suzuki is negative earth, but wiring as positive will not reverse the rotation. As I needed neg. earth (for the ecu) I found a regulator from www.dynamoregulators.com - DVR4N 12V/8A. In order to reverse the starter ...
