old dog - new tricks?...

On test in Boyton Forest Suffolk 

 Most days we go out in the afternoon last week plugs gapped at 18 thou did make a difference.

But not for long.

 Change the points to a Fairbanks Morse set, as starting cold warm hot a pain - and it works

 meet clive head honcho @ So-Low Choppers and good friend for brunch on Sunday

 and his son Jay

 and Martin who all watched me start the Bitch and took twelve kicks warm after fifty miles

which is half what it used to take warm after 50m here.

Later in the week she would not start cold. 

On test in Laxfield Suffolk with fresh plugs out of the same packet!

 and she starts every time one/two kicks hot 

on test  Tunstall forest yesterday (Saturday) 30 miles

 starts ok on 2 starts hot - a few kicks and fires on 3rd time  and then won't at all 

 so we take a few pics in between trials

 Fresh New plugs and one Kick

Down at the Harbour in Orford my village

of fish tales...

 sea shell in the distance with no mufflers fitted

 hallo its me

 Billy and his mum stopped when I ran out of petrol. the wanker on the new sportster didn't!

 Fish tail fitted

 they are like megaphones - on overrun its like a gun going off

fish tails by the beach in Aldeburgh

What a difference a week makes….

 Had the CV apart again and fixed the overflow on the bench 

 We won Best Custom at Lowestoft on Sunday

Mainly because she would not start and we stayed for the judging -and because my mate Clive on his beautiful Chop, arrived late!

Our Best 'Custum' Prize

 lovely bike - a 'Levis' (pronounced 'leh-vis') at orford bike night

 Removed the mufflers as had to rejet the super E again. I realised the reason I had put them on - to get more back pressure and help tune the carb was totally wrong. They are just a pipe wrapped in fibre - a muffler. The other is a baffle made by Kromeworks for drags  that I had on originally.

 So put the baffles in and went for a spin. 

 What a difference. Deep sound and real smooth. 

 Went down two jet sizes and hardly any coughing - runs great.

Mark at SoLow Choppers marvelling at the Mag powered bike that starts!
