[declan]

@terry.tz going on how crusty everything looks I'd check all earths

[terry.tz]

ye will do there is a few funny connections

[Darty]

@terry-tz So I may have to adjust my Build thread title

Keep us updated as you go, mine was always a weekend work in progress when I had the time. I used it pretty much everyday during the week.

[terry.tz]

@declan yes it was shit from passed fails I don't understand why you wouldn't clean that shit out
anyway battery's charging now I cleaned a few connection and its passed MOT been riding a few days now

[terry.tz]

bike was cutting out at every stop and idle screw wouldn't budge and was rounded a bit so I took it off for a clean and to loosen the idle found they have a security bolt so it only had a quick clean got the idle moving tho took some shifting like but carb wants doing again it's looking sorry for its self need to get a rebuild kit for it really seals were almost none existant

[terry.tz]

and the bowl was over flowing to seems good now tho

[terry.tz]

in need of a muffler and bracket

[declan]

@terry-tz yesss glad to hear she's back on the road!

[declan]

@terry-tz that exhaust looks like something off the rear end of an old metro lol

[terry.tz]

looks good but don't think the DT likes iridium plug cut out on me a few times and been a pain to start so I removed the oring I had holding it more open and it been fine but at full chat ish it has bogged a few times very slight think it could be getting to oily

[declan]

@terry-tz wellits deffo running rich throw a new plug in and plug chop it if you really want to find out

[terry.tz]

@declan tbh im probably just gonna use ES plugs i would like it to be a bit rich got some traveling to do

[declan]

@terry-tz I use es plugs they are pretty good only fouled one

[terry.tz]

@declan I always carry a spare ES anyways just in case

[terry.tz]

I no longer think it's the plug seems to be a restriction but sometimes I get 80 and others 70 or anywhere in between il get to the bottom of it

[terry.tz]

I looked at the de restricting stuff online and apart from exhaust and port all is meant to be good but I swear I have a cdi retardation or something at 9-10k ish I not taken much notice will now tho any one know what it could be

[declan]

@terry-tz my bike only revs till around 9 not been able to find the restriction yet

[terry.tz]

@declan im not that bothered it goes as fast as am bothered on a dirt bike but it's annoying knowing it's restricted some how and the feeling when it cuts ignition for a second bugs me

[declan]

@terry-tz yeah coming from my usual bikes the dt feels like a monster but would like a longer power curve so I need to get the restriction sorted
