Bert the Hongdou

the carb actually says japan on it it does seem a good copy, but yeah as im going along i will try and move onto honda parts

 

i think southport is where im going to get the grit...centerywise i think the company is called..i think ik went there once on a holiday camp place...or cpuld have been stockton not sure but it was beside the sea and nothing to do

 

haha, gotta love not having a clue where your going

 

mmm.i get lost on the way to the toilet...fucking amazing when i land in india and decide where im going by the first available train to anywhere..not a clue most times but i end up in puri sooner or later and stay and get stoned nd pissed and layed...happy days..cheep bikes and good dope

 

haha sounds sweet

all tidied up

 

looks neat..if you get the barrel sorted its gonna be well easy to wire it up now you know where it all goes..so looks like your set for the mot then..so long as the other wires are wired in with a switch or able to be done on an off safely so it dont short or run the battery down or give you spark grief..the mot should be no probs..all the other stuff works good?

 

checked the horn, it works but changed tone with the lights going on and off, which could be a problem.
the other wires arent on a switch, so do run down the battery. but if you kick it on it runs the electrics and charges the battery up abit.

so ill take it for a quick run around my backstreet before hand to get the battery charged up abit, hopefully its just that the battery is flat with the horn. but meh

 

if you stick a bit of charge in it and it works then put another switch for ignition on it...sorted..or wire a double pole switch or relay to do the switching..do you understand wiring much?

 

i understand wiring more than mechanics , but i learnt all that installing stereo systems and neon lights

 

im into hifi and all that valve stuff..love a nice sound system...if you wire in a dpdt switch you wont need a keyswitch..gotta do a sound system for my ped but wanna run it through my net book via a pimp my ride monitor and a good quality amp..the screen on this net book is fooked big time but its got a socket for a monitor..and what with all the internet sat/nav and shit...but i dunno wether it wouldnt be better to get a tab and do it on that.lot less hassle

 

less hassle = better

i could just grab another switch and wire it up, but as the barrel is on its way, i may aswell run with that (unless it doesnt work)

 

well it looks like a cj/cb style switch proberly will fit.if it dont pan out,could get the honda version from a breakers or any switch that you can get a diagram for...would deffo put some quite pills in the tank and sort out the noise...dunno what the plod are like up your way but best not give the slags a reason to stop you.

 

haha, hmm i like a loud exhaust, (the car is anything but quiet) but well see what the mot man says

 

mmm.not against loud pipes as such...but on a ped or small lump..rather not..harley or a brit single.mmmm..veeerrry niiiice

 

advisories - number plate is cracked and no ignition barrel

failures - handlebar mounting clamp bolt mssing (sheered i should have glued a bolt in) and drive chain is too tight.


omg winning

 

its now insuredm absoloute rip off as i was ending early on my scooter policy and starting a fresh (also means i need to start building my no claims again) but meh it will be on the road tomorrow hopefully

 

well aint that a good feeling..whip the bars off(if you aint already) replace the bolt and do the chain and your sorted.that insurance thing happened to mark on here..he did a sorn notice or something like that and lost his no claims that he was about to get..insurance companies are a rip off..im gonna have to keep both mine running when i get the vision finished..its only £80 to insure it fully comp but the roma was £130 third party only with swintons cos bennetts dont insure that model.what with all the dvla shit...it made me have to buy a new frame just for the number and i got the roma for when i was rebuilding it to run around on...now thats costing me an arm and a leg to keep running...bloody chink bikes...why dont they learn from the japs..when you gonna do the nrg then??

 

sorted the bars, just glued a sheered bolt head over the top
they did the chain free, so the MOT cost me nothing, its all road legal (well need to buy some Ls)

thanks to everyone for helping me getting it to this point.

as for the ped, meh its getting sold. will sort out sorn for it tomoz then bang it on facebook buy and sell, before i try ebay

 

you should get a good price for it if you can explain on ebay what it failed the mot on..ide expect youde get most if not all the £300 you say it cost yer..stick a few hundred as a reserve on it if you think its a good viable fix up and see how it goes..their quite popular peds
