  1. it was doing it on the inner side and I put new disks and re built calipers and now its doing it on the outside on a different side
  2. Why on 4 pot disk brakes would the outer 1" of the disk look like the pad is not touching it? pistons move freely friction part is flat but has a small step Contaminated pad?
  3. I finished the homemade red bike, goes relay well, no shortage of power, motor is a strong runner, still needs a rear brake cable, I have a wooden seat but needs foam and a cover, This frame was built for a Villers 2 stroke and the frame rail was in the way for mounting the B&S but I had the remains of a Masport rotary hoe and whacked off the engine mount witch is adjustable, worked out perfect for this bike to get the engine offset and for adjusting the chain. If anyone comes across a B&S V twin horizontal shaft motor I would be keen for the next project.
  4. Leaver the cap off and put a tea spoon of Epson salts in and top up with water if needed, if the plate dividers haven't broken down it might go
  5. I just got a new tridon thermostat for a guy and it didnt work at all
  6. Would vauxhall 2.6 extractors fit the vauxhall cresta pa 2.2 motor?
  7. I would just use normal high temp grease as alot of things with grease in them have rubber seals.
  8. Ops posted from my phone and the rest despaired, I am making a spot welder
  9. Peeled the 2ndry winding off an old isolating transformer and wound on an old HD jump start lead,
  10. I had a dingy and a 4 HP seagull, got it when I was 15, had the same problem as yours, water jacket full of rust, the water/gearbox oil mixture is normal, Think I will get another one to after seeing your thread
  11. http://www.autodepoca8.com/files/2015/01/13/2483-tabelle_auto_inglesi.pdf?t=1421146662249 This might be of some use when trying to find out what oils to use,

    Lambretta build

    I love those bolt on performance parts, The guy from classic cycles in upper hutt is Bob Nesbit or Nez, he is passed now, I worked with him for 3 years
  13. Needs a heat sink on the rectifier, it gets very hot, they assured me it would only get warm, also I got replacement belts they had the same numbers as the old ones but are too small, I had the same problem with the belt for the hydrolic pump, I think its the brand, I didn't have this problem with PIX belts.
  14. It runs, only after I discovered I had the adjustable main jet closed, opened that a bit and it fired right up, I was fucking round for ages trying to figure out why it wasn't picking up fuel and ended up taking the carb off ans apart. Also the rev counter and hour meter were not working until I remembered I have the primary belts off and that drives off the gearbox, another Matt Damon moment. Just out of interest I tested the old slieaniam retrofire by connecting the + DC output to a battery and seeing if the diodes still worked witch they didn't at all as there was 12v at the AC input terminals. when the gearbox oil arrives I can go for a drive.
  15. I just need to put gearbox oil in this and it should go, I have the primary belts off so I might fire the engine up tomorrow. I had to order in some 90W gearbox oil as its not available anywhere they just sell that LS hypoid gear oil, the fucking bottles have a picture of a gear stick on them but you carnt use it in a gearbox.
  16. If I had a bulldozer there would be alot of work for it around my place, about 2.5 KMS of gravel driveway witch all ways needs work as there are 24 houses off it, A bulldozer with a grave digger on the back would be ideal.
  17. I think the side pipe will be better, I don't think you can see the shitty attempt with the plumbing fittings.
  18. Mounted the oil bath filter, I ha to make a new stud as the old one was missing, Used a battery hold down clamp with the hook cut off and a nut brazed on, also got all the hydraulics fitted and new return lines. did a bit of rewiring to
  19. It should hardly get warm with this charging system, its using the tin plate as a heat sink, I tore the old exhaust system off by hand it was so rusted out, it had 1" tube and some plumbing fittings to make the shitty vertical stack witch filled the engine with water, I reused the muffler and 1 7/8 tube to make a better sysrem
