Thanks. There is a join under hose clamp which I still have to put a slip joint. You are very observant.

Just bought a 4 stroke bike I have been searching for since 2001 or I didnt have the money when 1 was available. Its a TX 510 Husky 1983 model and is possibly the old retro racing bike of Tony's as it still has Retro racing stickers on the swingarm. If all goes well it should be a good EVO open racer as well as a great 4 stroke. If anyone has some advice on timing with a MZB ignition for this model it would be greatly appreciated. I'll keep the bike standard but may change the mufflers for weight reasons.

Yes it will have its maiden voyage on Sunday, and I have decided to keep the standard mufflers so it original. The bike has had a short test ride yesterday, I am very impressed how light it feels and the response form the torquey motor is mind blowing. Just finished going over everthing and it should be good for the practice, as long as the starting system I use works.
There is no way the DR 400, DR 500 or the XL 500 bikes I have raced or built can compare although that TT 500 in the maico frame of Brownies was very fast and Graeme's old Profab HL was very torquey.

The best throttle on the market. if you look, you can get 'em in any colour you like for $20. As I've written before, some of the Chinese pitbike stuff is brilliant.

Yup,

Throttles, levers and chain guides are all good, only a fraction of the price ;)

Rod Spry recently purchased a Joker throttle for his own 4t Husky project and it's virtually indistinguishable from the one I'm using.

I'm liking the green thingy BTW. Is it a Huskasaki or a Kawavarna?
