Cleaned the carb very thoroughly, changed petrol...she now starts  and ticks over nicely, she splutters a bit when fully opened up on acceleration...any ideas please?



thanks for your help so far dudes!

Thanks for the reply LAB,

the engine was running quite well last summer, not noisy or smokey, the oil has been changed on a fairly regular basis...

looking for a simple solution! ;D

10 mins plus to set the timing and adjust the carbs for better running....this would be long enough to cause this overheating? and thin the oil enough for the oil pressure switch to indicate low pressure?

Got her running again, must have been a loose connection somewhere...not sure where, I just went over all the connections again!

Now she is still running very hot, the oil light has not come on since starting (good sign ???) although as soon as I realised she had begun to get hot again  i shut her down....the oil tank was starting to get too hot to put your hand against....oil return to tank looks good steady flow...any ideas...I am still trying to get the right stuff together for the oil pressure test her in rural France..."you want what monsieur? for a what monsieur?"

thanks

Hi LAB,

thanks, HOWEVER....I decided to try and give her a little run to see if the excessive heat was caused through prolonged idling on new rings etc...but the ignition circuit is dead...battery in good nick, well charged over night, lights, horn etc work ok

I have a Boyer mk3 fitted and this has been running fine.
there is power going into the unit and power down to the contact magnets on both wires...but absolutely no spark....on the black/white wire going down to the magnet setup there was a nick with a bit of bear wire where this goes behind the plate, I have now cleared this of the casings (not sure whether this was actually touching) but no change...any ideas please....getting very frustrated this end...

wife says buy a harley or go Jap....has she a point ???

Thanks LAB,

sounds very logical, how do I go about fixing the gauge, what type of gauge do I need?

I forgot to say that this occurred after it had been idling quite fast for some time whilst I was re balancing the carbs and re setting the timing...the engine was very hot.

I am not sure really where to start....my T100R will start but will not tickover on the l/h carb...is this the pilot air jet blocked? how can I easily clean this properly, I have tried compressed air with no improvement...

this is one of about 6 problems that I have...one at a time then...

thanks in advance
