thanks to tweak....

i would just like to say thanks to tweak who did a full engine rebuild for me earlier this week. i would recommend him to anyone because he has done a brilliant job and saved me alot of money compared to if i had taken it to a garage. him and his dad clearly know what their doing and there really nice fellars. THANKS TWEAK

anyway, i started the running of my engine in on friday night and have done just over a 100 miles so far without going over 35mph and not really revving the bollocks off it. i can tell it has slackened quite a bit already.

it was quite suprising though when i got about only 50 miles to a full tank :w00t: i think it was because i did a 1 to 40 mixture first time round.

could anyone tell me roughly how many miles i should run it in for and is it normal for the bike to splutter quite a bit while im running it in?

 

running in is something everyone does differntly, if i were you know youve done over 100 miles once its warm give it a 5-10 sec full throttle every know and then to free it up a bit, might then stop spluttering

 

The spluttering is probably your plug fouling up!!

And yeah dont they feel crap when they are tight and bedding in

dont worry itll gradualiy get better and better

 

right yer thanks for advice fellars, iv been for a run on it tonight wiv my mates and still havent gon over 35ish mph but i did rev it full throttle if from 20to30mph a bit thu but only now and then. i really need to downjet it though coz its drinking fuel like a fuckin V8 engine lol im gona stick a 86 jet in it coz i believe its a 94 now and i think this could be causing domr of the spluttering.

wearing in is shit boring though, my mates are finding it boring as well lol i also hate it when you get a chav corsa come up to us at the lights and they expect a race and im just like :emb: i cant go over 35mph

 

Not problem fella, still available for more rebuilds people... imp:

 

cheers mate, would you know what jet will be in the carb iv got? its getting way too much fuel. costing me lots!

 

alright bud, I'm running a similar setup, 86 down to 82 should be about right

 

i arnt sure what jet is in it at the minute though. im going to strip it tonight and have a look, im going to buy a 86 and 84 jet this afternoon, then put them in it tonight. thanks wobbly, have u got a 21mm carb though?

 

yup, i'm running the exact same carb as you.

 

ah ryt cool, wat type of jet do i need? coz i believe there are different jets for different carbs, am i right?

 

5mm I think mate.

Although might depend what aerox u have

 

2002 mbk nitro if that helps

btw ive just put a polini 21mm carb on it, still 5 mm jet mate?

 

5mm jets

 

thanks mate! erm is there anything else i need to do when i change the jet? i have now done 140 miles wooooooo
