Tech Talk / Re: PVL - intermittent spark
« on: March 24, 2015, 08:11:53 AM »
I run PVL's on all my vintage KTM's. No issues.
1. I always run an dedicated earth wire from the stator backing plate to the coil/kill switch earth.
2. I have seen the wires that run through the back of the stator plate get pinched when mounted. I usually unbolt the stator off the mounting plates and reroute the cables so they don't run through the hole in the plate.
3. I usually buy a new NGK red resistor-less cap and solder on the HT lead. but my last bike i used the original cap supplied and haven;t had any issues.
4. Yes there are different number of winding stators, and got caught out with a second hand one off a go cart once. You will not start by kick starting...swapped out for the right number of turns, and it runs first kick. Also there are analogue and digital setups...
To test a used ignition, i have set them up in my drill press using a bolt through the rotor, and stator setup in the vice. Just to prove it works.

I bought a rebuild kit (minus shafts), but haven't installed them. They have damping and seem to not be leaking. Will pull them down and inspect them.
What size shafts does your kit have?

KTM / 1976 KTM MC5 250 Build
« on: February 22, 2015, 06:53:08 PM »
Some of the build so far:
How i bought it ! Great photo, but nothing like it was in real life!!!
How it turned up once shipped, apparently they had an issue with something that didn't match the paperwork and had to pull it down and put it on a pallet. Axles lost, brake rods bent etc etc. Wasn't impressed.
The close and longer i looked at this it looked like the frame and motor was sandblasted and repainted in the frame. On pulling the engine down confirmed this. Yes it was fitted wit ha brand new piston, but the sand and grit scored the shit out of it...Couldn't trust one thing on this, so full rebuild was coming.
Ignition in and setup...
Carby built and installed....

Stolen! / Re: Stolen from Wollongong area
« on: November 12, 2014, 02:54:17 AM »
Had a call from detectives this morning, during another operation they stumbled upon a couple of bikes.
Of which, one was my KTM 300. From reports its in good condition too.
I'd like to thank the police for there assistance, especially the local detective who never gave up.

I believe you can still fit the later one,, with a centre spacer.
Might look at that tonight.

I had one fitted to my 81 250 for a while, and it could do stoppies with ease, but not legal.

I believe this is the tank you are after. The one you show is for the water cooled bike and has a large opening at the front
