Thanks Adam, I thought someone else was trying to do what you are 
we have spoken on the phone mate about your project! Check Ebay or marks list in the USA if you find one in a bike email me and i have a contact in the states that could pull the motor/radiators etc out and ship it for you. Cheers! PW
or can you measure the OD of the throat of the cylinder manifold and the carby 
what does L/C mean and if you don't mind me asking do you have the rest of a 430 AE to put the motor in ?? I have pulled the forks apart on my sc a little while a go and cant remember the way all the washers go in could someone help me out with a diagram of the internals that i could follow please i have goggled it an the pics are very grainy and hard to follow on the various links.Just brought in a bike from the states, cleaned at a cost of $250.
Gday Bitten Hey mate did you get any invoice for the cleaning from your shipper or better still from customs
about the companies that import the bikes for us it is a paper crusade
and they deserve to be paid a fair $$ for what they go through but are they using the washing cost as a way of earning a bit on the side
Gasitt!
Gday, So is this a sign of things to come I hope so the qvmx club should be commended for having the foresight and initiative for coming up with the concept in my opinion!! Its hard work keeping the old bike up right after a couple of rounds of evo and pre 90 have left there impact on the track surface but hey maybe I'm just a shit rider but I think the Saturday thing would be good for pre 75 and 78 as a practice day type of arrangement it could bring more spectators because of the camping aspect and in turn get more people into the sport. As things progress would it be possible to hold one or two races in the afternoon this might also help take the pressure off the normal race format on sunday. Gday i cant login from my home computer it is probably a security thing which is good thing but i would like to be able to go on the forum from home so what can i do 
Mate thats a bit extreme I think 
if you send me a pm with your details I am sure i will be able to supply you with the bits you need the gears that are stripped will have numbers on the side of them if you quote the numbers in your pm that would be good. Husky AU
I think we are all using a variety of different oils and grades of oils in the trannies, but it is important as the bikes are good at stuffing gears.
The oil recommended in the book is Engine oil SAE 20 but it is bloody thin and the book was written in Sweden where temp's are colder so I have used SAE 30 and never had a problem it is cheap and readily available at any mower shop or burnings it is the same oil used in Briggs & stratton mowers. be kind to your old bike From memory it is 1400cc?? Yeah the manual doesnt list the needle fpr some reason. Mine runs a 6DH3 needle on 3rd clip position with 420 main jet, 2.0 air jet and 25 pilot jet. Goes like a rocket I reckon
Yep the Berq is on the money but I have found a bigger pilot jet will make it start better when its hot a 35 or 40 when you get it going check the plug it will tell you whats going on should be baby biscuit brown and he is right about the kicker if you fit a decomp. valve in the head it will make things easier for you and the bike. How about some pics on your progress . Gday Col, ; what a top post and some great real life pics the fire extinguisher certainly caught my eye that looks like an old Metzler tyre sticker on the air box. So keep us posted on up dates of the resurrection champ. Nice Clip Mike, what sort of sadist would put on an enduro there?? I rode a 6hr at Round Mt Cabarita in the early 80's on a 125 the flats were sand and hard yaka it was good going up the hills but those sand flats at the bottom :'( :'( after the event I had to strip the bike totally it even had sand in the head stem bearings part of the property the event was on is now the Jet Boat race circuit. If you are keen for a bit of comp. riding there are a lot of enduro's held that run rally class This class has a time card and rides the same terrain as the pro classes and its intent is to let you run at the rear of the classes and experience what the concept of the event is all about. Or just ride vmx its getting pretty full on. Pre 70 is only bikes built before 1970 and so on with the other classes?? What years dose evo start and finish?? What happens if i have a 1970 engine in a 1969 frame??
