cheers, i see, I know not to mix them but never really gave it much thought about the angle of the dangle being a little different

You can usually use the turn the and count method, the driveshaft will turn 4.1 or 4.7 turns for every single turn of you rear wheel. I have a couple in the shed so so went and had a look and both LSD 4.1=Blue 3.7=Orange could this be just the pinion tooth number as I assume like others they mix and match pinion with different crown wheels to achieve various ratios, I am sure someone will know more and help not just you but me as well.

Ok so I have the Chinese copy but I guess they are the same internally but I have just bought 2 scooters that use the 4 speed auto c50 engine and 1 of them started binding in 2nd gear. I take off in 1st and fine, change in 2nd and it jumps and makes a clatter and slows, change into 3rd fine and 4th is fine as well. I downloaded a c70 workshop manual and will pull it apart and check clutch but I fell like it is the gearbox so could be a full pull down. Has anyone got any experience with this happening?

Running pretty sweet now, got it over 75 but as the gearing is very tall I have ordered 2 lower front sprockets and between the choice of 2 rear and 3 front I am hopeful I can work out a bit more pickup and higher speed. From what I gather these came with up to a 125cc so the gearbox and speedo are made for that. The spare has a 14T and 36T and the main bike has a 14T and 40T so I have a 12T and a 13T on the way and I am thinking that I should be able to sort a decent geared bike

It has gear lights so not too bad but yeah like you say, prob get used to it and it means you dont have to got down the gears to first as its just 1 click away. I put the jet from the 50cc carb and the spare bike and now it idles nice but is sluggish, might soak the carb overnight I have a hole in the jet now using a really thin needle, i will go and see if i can get thinnest wire file through it now and test it as it would be sweet to have 2 bikes working. I also tried to do a fastest run and might have got to 80km/h but it ran out of room LOL

Surprise honey we are going to Molesworth for your honeymoon!!

This was funny, I was like... WTF is with this gearbox not realising that if i go down from Neutral is 1st (Yep normal for most), but then I go up and it jumped a couple a gears. So after I worked it out ya just go Down -1 down-2 down-3 down-4 and if i go down again it jumps back to 1st (thank #%# I was only doing about 30km/h) and if i go up from 1st it jumps into 4th. So is this normal? It must be missing a stopper or something as I would imagine doing 100km/h in 4th then selecting 1st will be a disaster. The second bike is now running after a carb clean and blocked main, but I need to pull the bowl off again today and fix the idle/pilot jet as I couldn't unblock it, i will check if the spare 50cc carb has the same jet as the big bore carb.

Bought a 49cc Moped and spare with big bore kit Couldn't resist as it is live rego and 17" wheels and runs a 4-speed step-thru. surprising has some grunt but I bet my Grabdaughter oops i meant granddaughter will want it as she prefers one of these than my R33 Skyline..... go figure. I might get to keep the skidder a bit longer. Oh and as I bought these off the importer it came with a few NOS parts so I can keep them running for a few more years or maybe make a Molesworth survival kit from them!

Looks like a great time had, is this going to be an annual event? Kinda keen next time. Big ups to all the little wheeled bikes and stepthrus.

Yea piece of piss for a decent Hiab or Palfinger with it's own flat deck. I am another that recommend Mackley Carriers.

Did you get this sorted as my bro lives there and i could ask him if he could get it to his place for you?

I had a car that had a paper cert done by a garage that is long gone, I rang Wellington and they advised it was not on record and that I send it to them so they can update their records. Is this still accepted these days or not as I thought at the time it could be made on any computer these days. BTW the cert was nothing more than a minor engine swap and was a bolt in swap however I changed it from carb to injection as the induction was not mentioned and the engine used came out with both.

Re-ring only if required, I was a motorcycle courier in Sydney in the 80's (no restriction where I went), and my clutch wore out at 55,000kms on my Honda 250RS single so parked outside the bike wrecker one morning removed the complete engine and swapped for a low k one and it took me a week to get it revving past the redline in top like the old one, factory max speed was 146km/h but my max was 166km/h. Here i am radio on back, speaker and mic on handlebars, map book of sydney on tank and my locking paniers It has returned home

I did a rego check so i can get it checked I LOL'd when I saw previous owners and it explains the dents and lowish mileage and that it looks like it had garage stored

Everything SORTED - Ready for vtnz, thanks for the help offer I soaked the carb for several hours then washed it out with water and have just got it back on and it starts easier and now idles sweet. I took it for a 100 yard test and rides and runs perfect Front brake is powerful enough and no unusual noises coming from the engine or drivetrain, all 4 indicators now work after tightening one, soldering the wire and replacing the bulb. Hi/Low beam working good. I have treated the bare metal with rust treatment where the littles dents in the tank had flaked some paint.

You have the same springs as my '95 Civillian Super limo

The gvm can be all over the show on trucks so I guess busses are much the same. My civilian mobile home is just a tad under 4tonne. I do wonder if yours had a leaf taken out for comfort which has made them weaker. I must have look tomorrow at mine.

I finally found myself an affordable GN250 for a project, it's actually in pretty good nick and someone obviously gave up on it. So jumpered the battery which is holding voltage now and stabbed the started thinking how many clunks and clangs is it going to make but got a very pleasant surprise as it turned over freely but didn't fire. Ok I thought can only be spark or fuel so pulled the plug out which was brand new and it had nice blue spark so dumped some fuel down the hole and had another go after putting plug back in and vroom started almost immediately. Great found the issue so pulled the carb off and the main was completed blocked and the float was seized. The idle was ok so used some carb cleaner and small jet files and cleaned it out put it back together and it runs ok with a bit of throttle but rough idle and will stall. then while I had the seat off noticed some smoke coming from a connection. The nolex connector was basically welded together so after destroying it to find the wires a bit messy but an easy enough thing to fix. All in all maybe at worse a replacement carb but I will soak it in CLR for a while like I have done in the past and blow them out with air, and a replacement nolex connector. It has a few scapes and the tank has a couple of dings, one side cover was sellotaped on and i need a new rear indicater and it should be ready for taking through to get reregistered.

Running the Big Block 360

I had to leave early and a few had turned up after I took these, at least the weather turned it on

These are the ones I was looking at, a bit over $300 each with velocity stack but as I got the 45 DCOE's I will tune them in after the new stacks arrive probably after New Year, they fit my manifold so easy as.

done, cheers

Anyone help with a 6 cylinder Commodore VK workshop manual as I am trying to sort out an electrical issue, I only have a 4 cylinder one which is close for most things except wiring. Either a photo or photocopy would be great, Thanks.
