Raizer

That's the AC input without a wire in the pic, the wire I used I cut to length to suit where I had the rectifier mounted and it had a female spade terminal. /Basically it wasn't hooked up as it wasn't mounted.

Mount that rectifier away from anything that may melt, they can get fucking hot. I found that the voltage in DC circuit went up whenever I turned the light on, no idea why or how but I'm guessing it's something to do with the common ground between the AC and DC circuits and the way the rectifiers work. Would go from about 14v at cruising rpm to 16-18v. Maybe your larger capacitor will help with that though.

Sorry I failed you @Vintage Grumble

@Shakotom

Remade the muffler, it isn't quiet but it's much less offensive than it was. The extra restriction cost enough power that I had to rejet to get it back lol. HUGE thanks to @GuyWithAviators who kindly brought a few goodies back from Thailand for Chandler! Not that the needle will ever see speeds beyond 50kmp/h... So stoked with that front badge!

The manager of BOC here said they only have one decent sale a year now, think it's normally in August. I missed out on a multi function mig/tig last year and was asking when the next sale is etc.

Edit I should have looked closer at your pics, the 125 loom I've got here is different again. Edit 2: The red/black in the loom goes to the engines black/red. Plain green from engine just earths to the frame. Black/white is kill, earth it to turn the engine off. Yellow/black is the coil + The Green/pink with the otherwise empty 6 pin is the neutral light. I'd strip it down so you're left with a basic CDI loom and the 4 wire regulator/rectifier loom. Easy enough to tap into the factory lighting and charge circuits. On my CF50 I had to swap a couple wires around on my ignition switch to get it to kill the engine. Add a ballast resistor from a 12v scooter to protect the bulbs from over voltage (I've likely got 1 spare if needed)

Sold the Vespa/LML, may end up as a rat scooter so that'd be cool. @MopedNZ and @GuyWithAviators apparently got sick of the trails of rust flakes I was leaving on rides so the GC's hooked me up with a new seat! Before: lol the whole rear half of the seat had collapsed down/made it actually really comfy haha After I used a few scraps of the original seat to really roughly patch the new seat: Yet another of @GuyWithAviators self-portraits on my bike haha And last night out of a moment of bored energy I chopped part of the front off Fitted old Cub indicator lenses, had to lay the horn back to clear the headlight lol Forgot to take before pics, but you can see the difference in the height of the speedo etc from this old pic VS If I find motivation tomorrow I'm thinking about remaking the muffler baffles so they actually do something haha

Agree on both counts. Had an initially intermittent tick on my Cressida from the gasket/

Ooh yeah, didn't think about turning the engine over to get the the converter bolts.

Why not just leave the converter in the trans?

What welder is it, I've been looking at multi-process machines lately too.

Downpipe is restrictive on the 1KZ too (in the HiAce at least) https://icarusimports.co.nz/products/toyota-1kz-te-turbo-diesel-3-stainless-steel-dump-pipe-with-pyro

Bump, should be a good ride!
