shit, nearly a year...

pulled the fuel tank out today, about an inch of crud in the bottom. yuk.

off to the radiator shop to get it cleaned/flushed/leaks fixed.

keen

keen for a drive and beer/burnt meat thing.

maybe a drive around the bays before the pub?

still a few good bits of driving road left on the hill.

(dyers pass road one handed in a 1949 morris minor.)

Is my daily driver.

pulled wipers out to see what's wrong with them - no fun going over the hill with no wipers.

found this:

bollox. housing split, bolts stripped, wheel boxes worn out. bollox again.

oh well, time to raid the spares bin again.

probably go for a good 2nd hand one, get it pressure tested/flushed before you put it in.

aftermarket heater cores never seem to give as much heat as oe ones.

(spent 4 years at a radiator shop moons ago, did nothing but heater repairs most of the time)

scored a sweet velour rally car seat the other day.

if you want to come over to governors bay and test/try my 9100, giz a pm.

only got co2 mig, but see if you like it compared to your old one.

did all the welding at the brewery in woolston with one, i reckon they are good.

$195 complete triumph motor/box.

cheers, have changed title.

has humber on the left crank arm too, but i'm not cleaning the sweet patina/crud off the chain ring side to see whats on that.

from what i can tell the forks and front wheel are humber, as in humber cars.

rear hub is a perry, and a munted brooks saddle.

no other markings anywhere.

the bsa has a shimano 3 speed hub with twist grip changer.

ladaspeed, keen to get those tyres off you, would be cool to take this thing for a ride as is on the next tweed run.

or even the pub tbh.

f is field

e is earth

n is relay control bit, 6v is fine.

unplug 3pin plug, put 12v "+" to "F" and that will bypass reg.

start up, not reving too much, check voltage at batt. should be 13.8v and upwards as you rev it more.

not too much, as the reg has been bypassed. go over 15 volts, you will start blowing bulbs and boiling batterys.

if all good, turn everything electrical on full - wipers, lights on hi-beam, heater, etc.

run above test again, this will load test alt, wiring and belt slippage.

put volt meter between batt "+" and alt"+" under full electrical load, and rev up a bit.

no more than 0.5v

same from batt "-" and alternator body.

report back findings when done.

go.

I use a 3m speedglas, paid 250 second hand off trademe. good helmet for what i do.

pass on the naked bit. bikes bad enough as it is.

where is a good place for 28" tyres and tubes?

that's all it needs for the next run.

and I need a hat.

cleaning out a mate's shed and found these.

might have to make a tweed run bike.

my old one. flat black with pinstripe flames / hotwire mags.

spotted this gte in geraldine on the weekend.

Open up the alternator and check the brushes. That may be the problem

do this.

wiring should be fine, just get repaired what is needed. fuse box on these are prone to playing up.

replace fuses, and clean up the terminals with a bit of wet and dry sandpaper.

also check plugs to the dash, sounds like they were the last things to be touched.

failing that, should be able to help after work some day if needed.
