Rare Scottish Tree Badger

Unless the wear is excessive, I'd imagine it's just where the rings have seated themselves in the bore. 130psi sounds fine for 1000ft/ 22cc domes. Rare.

Are you having to use spacers with that carb set up? If so, I assume you've got the extra gaskets fitted. You could try covering all the mating surface edges in that area with baby powder to find where the leak is. (With the engine running you'll see clear spots at the leaks). ... If it turns out to be the intake gaskets you could use some form of sealer on them. Rare.

Well, you've got a 1 in 3 chance of having them correct. ... Both pistons right, both wrong, or one right and one wrong. The odds are against you! You should be able to tell 0.45mm (half a millimeter) by sight through the exhaust. ... They're obviously made like that for a good reason, and I would imagine you'd have problems if they're not correct. Are they original style pistons that you've just changed the rings on. ... I know with my Wiseco prolites, it didn't matter what way up or which ring went in which groove. Rare.

You need to get that air leak sorted BEFORE you do any more WOT plug chops. ... If you've made idle adjustments with the air leak there, then spraying your cleaner around the leak will kill the motor as if you'd pulled the choke on. When you're on full throttle it's your mains that are working and you're pulling in more air through the leak and leaning out. ... Fix the air leak! Did you re-torque the cylinder base nuts after heat cycleing/ break in? Rare.

Thanks biggun, I thought it might have meant "Big Grins". .... Errrr, I was well off! Rare.

What's "pinks"? ... Rare.

Below that spring there's a plate held down with two screws. (Under the cable stopper plate). ... Remove those screws and below the plate you'll find the needle. When you put the plate back in, make sure you don't put it in so as to block the bypass hole. Rare.

If the hill climb is Wiscombe, then that's only about ONE mile from my Mother's house. ... That would be awesome on a quad! ... Bridge Corner, Bunnie's Leap, The Esses, Sawbench hairpin, then a 250ft straight to the last corner and finish line. (900 Metres in total). Yeah, pm's fine. Rare.

You're right. ... You don't look too well! Rare.

8 hour endurance. . ... I can hardly finish the 3rd 20 minute MX race. . Where's it held? I'm often down in Devon, my Mother lives there now. Here's where I got my Engine Ice. It's not cheap ... About

Also check your plug caps for 5,000 Ohms. ... The spark should be able to jump a gap of 6mm without the plug cap fitted. Make sure your spark plugs are clean. Should be good to go. EDIT: Just realised you said you were "reading off". ... Didn't work out "ofl". . .... How far off? ... When the cylinder's in compression, a weak spark is not going to make the gap. Rare.

Yeah, that's right: Plug lead to -ve (black wire) terminal on coil. Looking for 4700 - 7100 Ohms. Rare.

It stayed together when I was on it! Rare.

Difficult for anyone to say for sure without seeing it. Your porter is your best bet. ... The bottom of the exhaust port is at or below the top of the piston at BDC (on the Banshee cylinders anyway), so cleaning up the edges of the chips may be ok for the rings. Also, after porting, the barrell will probably be taken back by another bore size which will reduce the damage area. (Back and down - because of the angle of the port). And then the bevelling of the ports will work in your favour too. I'm not a machinist, so don't take the above as gospel. I'm sure there are others here that can give you a more qualified answer. Rare.

Yeah they do ... Doma Racing Exhaust Systems Rare.

Good one! Rare.

Also search in the 'Jetting and Exhaust' forum. Rare.

My first thoughts too. Then try gradually advancing 1 degree at a time. ... 18cc domes will be giving you a lot of compression unless you're high in altitude. Keep in mind that in advancing timing you're improving bottom end at the loss of top end. Rare.

Vegas Rocks! ... Gotta love that Rollercoaster at the top of that tower! Rare.

1/ 'Good to Rich' on the Pilot with tickover, that's fine. 2/ I wonder if the gear oil up against the right side crank case is enough to make the difference to let the left side burn up first. . BTW - What was the reason for being richer on the left with the extra full throttle jets? 3/Leakdown test: pluging up the exhaust outlets, intakes and plug holes, and putting 6 or 7 psi into the cylinders and seeing if it holds the pressure for 10 mins with very little or no loss. EDIT: cbn70 explained it better. 4/ Plugs: The lower the number, the lower it's ideal working temperature. ... If you put a 8 in where a 9 is reccommended, it's ability to remove heat from combustion is reduced. Stan did the porting and head work on my motor. ... I can't see him saying go to a lower temperature plug, but if he said "try a colder plug" he means a 10. Might be better giving him a phone to check. 5/ Yeah, more compression = more heat and an increase in octane requirement and possibly a 'colder' plug if neccessary. 7/ You can only read the mains where the porcelain meets the shell, deep inside the plug. ... 1mm soot ring. (Use new plugs - warm up the motor on the old plugs). Yeah, blueing is heat. 8/ So stock clip position on that needle is 2nd clip from top? With 5 grooves? I run on the 5th, but that's not relevant here. What did you do, go back to 2nd clip for the race? 9/ You're more likely to overheat from being too lean than being too rich. ... Jet up 'till it sputters/ bogs, and then come down a size. 10/ Ok, RZ gears 12/ That's good advise on the Optimax. ... It's 98 (R.O.N.), but it's really only 93 Octane (R+M/2). 13/ I use silkolene also. (Pro2 @ 33:1). Have you done any (cold) compression checks with the fresh rebuilds? - If you've only been using regular unleaded 95 (91) and you have that head reworked, have you not heard any knocking/ pinking? - Moving to the BR10s is going to help if they are'nt going to foul up. - Engine Ice or Water Wetter would be a good idea if you don't want to go the way of a cool head. - Keep in mind that with the 28mm bore of the carbs will produce less velocity and therefore richer adjustments are required to compensate. - If you do phone Stan, ask him about your premix to see if he would reccommend richening the oil content. (Remember that doing this will lean out your fuel:air mix). Throw some 28PWKs on there for an easier and less wallet emptying life! Rare.

Anyone else using these MX pipes? They're made in Belgium, but I know there's a distributer in the US. Rare.

From what I've heard, the T6 is a good pipe for your use. But if you plan on porting the cylinders, then go for the T5. You'll find loads of info using the 'search' function. Welcome to BansheeHQ . Rare.

Hey Stan, I was in Utah about 3 years ago. We stayed at Moab, and went rafting on the Colorado and rock climbing up at Arches National Park (where I broke my foot ). ... How far would we have been from Little Sahara? Rare.

Sunshine and showers with 72 degrees tomorrow in Cambridge . Rare.

WOW, 39 days in a row! ... I think the highest temp it ever gets to in the UK is 100, and that doesn't happen every year. Certainly never gets that high in Scotland. Rare.
