Il rehome the GN if Lee? Has forgotten he bought it, @MopedNZ didn’t you rope him into coming along? -
Famous last words..... Was on my way 2 Ohope to kick off East Cape Ride when just before Edgecumbe it started to bog and die, clutched in and it stopped running. Whipped the exhaust off to be greeted with this sight again. (Interesting that it did almost 80kms of WOT before killing itself again which was the same kms it did when it killed the 1st BBK) AA roadside rescue/sharns thanks to @cletus and @RUNAMUCK got me to J5s place where I jumped on a loaner CT110 and delivered the post round the coast all weekend which was so sweet Whipped the head off at Johns to find a very chooched bore and piston plus a weird flame front burn mark on the combustion chamber, only getting complete burn on the front half of the head/same side as the exhaust port. 2T barry yarns have deducted that I cocked up the squish band when clearencing the head so the piston wouldnt hit it which is fucking with ignition turbulence so its not doing a complete burn- piston gets unevenly hot causing it to not be very round and digs itself into the bore causing the above. Cant do much except get myself in the dogbox by "spending more money on that bloody bike" so have a 3rd(and hopefully final) 70cc kit on the way from Germany plus found a 2nd hand un fucked with head in the UK which is also on its way via Youshop. Been going down the 2T rabbit hole on squish band setup so will actually measure it this time to get it right not just get a bit gungho on the dremel after a few Brianlownes and mexican cigarettes. In summary, 2 strokes are sweet when they are running but they dont like to run that much when I play with them

Need to mention again thanks to @Thphantum and @MaxPower for the amazing commitment to the weekend, throwing themselves into the deep end of a crazy oldschool sorta gathering by picking up the pieces of the weekends antics as they died roadside,bike or otherwise. This sorta event couldn't happen without a support vehicle or 2 as the last few days have shown. Roadside bunnings snags, broken bikes, broken people, broken support vehicles, supply restocking, gear carting, the list goes on, they did it all without complaint A+ guys -

Wow that was a sweet adventure. My knees are chooched, not much articulation happening today. Thanks to everyone for showing up and having the right attitude all weekend. Also thanks for being well behaved at the bach. Clean up was a breeze while the lighthouse ride was happening. That Waimata valley road was awesome, good fast flowing gravel. Im keen to get away from gizzy early next year and take that way all the way through to Te Puia springs. In summary everyone was good nobody died. Live hard ride free etc -

Nothing like some last minute prep Rinsed excess/all oil out of the filter and disposed of the dregs thoughtfully, running like it should again Someone somewhere mentioned having the right size exhaust pipe tip for small 2T engines, since this is running a 80cc spanny/exhaust on a 68cc BBK I figured it might be a tad too big/back pressure is needed/something so welded OG tip onto the Gianelli muffler. Butt dyno says braaaaps have increased on hills Got spare plugs today and gapped them down to what other small Suzuki engines are supposed to run since TS50 info online is pretty non existant Mixed up a couple of tanks of braaaaap juice and got together a spares/tool kit. Hurry up tomorrow arvo so I can hit the road -
Block the OMP and run premix to atleast rule that out as a cause/too late now/bring the GN slug

I plan on being brave and leaving the TS alone outside the Taneatua botly for 2 mins while I grab some coldies. Then give them a good shake up on the pannier over Stanley road, if they bike is still outside the bottly after said 2 mins -
