  1. still running a generator on it? probably the battery has had a hard poorly charged life and is passed it 9.5v under load is right at the time to look for a new battery stage
  2. Pertronics set ups want minimum 3 ohm coils if I remember correctly, can't use a coil that was for a ballest resistor system (i. E if it's a gt40R) The high performance coils also caused problems, due to the output
  3. simple green has been doing some good things to my oily filth, cleaned my oil soaked carpets out with it and no complaints
  4. fwiw, 9.6v is about the lowest you would expect an ok battery to drop when cranking
  5. thats an excessive voltage drop on the battery, probably its on its way out. A battery load tester is about $20 if you want another gadget for the shed, or can take it to a supercehap or whatever to test assume you have the correct ohms coil for the electric distributor, and have gotten rid of the ballast resistor
  6. lol, you all know you have to buy cool tyres then mod the bike to fit
  7. I'm told they are pretty indestructible, don't have the 750 or 400 tax either, but AFAIK they are "the same"

  9. suzuki is ready to go but am considering putting some knobbies and a light bar on one of these
  10. If turners is selling a vehicle as dereg, but ltsa shows it as still live, do they dereg it before handing it over? or is it just a mistake on their data entry
  11. I ha e done a towel wet with it, then covered with plastic, to do large panels like a ute tray
  12. could have used a rivnut i ebay'd some vintage braze ons a while ago, probably got a pack floating about still
  13. Mines got a pull choke knob. Twisted it one way, then the other, tried pulling it gently, tried pulling it hard. Left unsatisfied. Probably the cable is corroded in the sheath. Will check that spring, I assume the choke is stuck off, but I have seen them messed with and stuck on due to bypassing a stuck cable, so good place to start Also I'm hot wiring it, which was very easy
  14. Brum brum, I sure do like an inline 4 Choke cable seems to be stuck, all my batteries go flat after 1 crank on this, probably they are all stuffed, but still they can start cars. I feel I can hear something not dissimilar from piston slap, pretend it's a 2 stroke
  15. They are great for leaning your hand on when working on the engine at least
  16. I think the rear suits the huge tank. As a side sharn, I also can't stand those skateboard type seats, expecially when you have like a big BMW and a tiny seat on the back. Terrible
  17. yea it was sold as an 80, and thats what i think it is, rego as an 81.
  18. These are legit k&n filters
  19. Factory parts long since in the trash
  20. Digging for the vin number and there's some legit cafe racer mods going on under here
