Is there a tickover screw on the injector body @Saul ?

I said we needed a horizontal picture.

Depends on the context I suppose. not against it in theory.

Weird flavour.

You are thinking digestive

Chocolate or raisins?

This is the thread for submitting pictures for June’s Bike Of The Month. Everyone gets to entry, you get to entry with one picture of a motorcycle or scooter you currently own, out on a ride this June. It has to be an horizontal picture, too. Feel free to post multiple pictures, I will consider the last one posted. Submissions close friday evening and the vote starts then.

Fine like a rich tea biscuit, I'll post a pic when the new one comes and I swap them over.

How does the plug look?

See you have made me paranoid now so I have just been out for a 5 mile run on it. Running without fault dragging my fat arse around. May have to raise the idle slightly but that is as far as I reckon it needs touching. Fuck riding a ped though what a horrible thing to do

No way of doing so at the moment. I think it has decent compression though as it pulls pretty well when running like all peds it gets of the line well for 11bhp, I imagine if it were down on compression it would be very obvious. Also it's a 4 stroke can't imagine running out of fuel would damage the motor like a two stroke.

Did you check compression? If he ran out of fuel while flat out …

The boy came home last night complaining his ped keeps dying. He had been for a long ride to Tavistock and back and run out of fuel during the trip. It’s done 15,000 km and has only had oil changes whenever I do one of my bikes as there is always enough left over to do his ped. So the oil is always pretty clean. Apart from the first service I don’t think it has been touched otherwise. Anyway it was really difficult to start and wouldn’t tick over. Not an ideal situation in a twist and go. First thing I did was check the valves which were tight. Less than 0.005 mm when they should be between 0.010 - 0.015 mm I set them loose on the max measurement. It started fine then but would still not tick over. No idle screw that I could find (fuel injected ped) so I adjusted the cable to raise the idle enough so that it wouldn’t stall. All seems good now. Rideable at least so he can get to work. I’ve put a shot of Redex injection cleaner in the tank and will do it a few more times when he fills the thing. I have ordered a service kit for it which fuzz nuts will be paying me back for also I think it will need a new drive belt in the near future so I will look into that as well. Learning stuff about peds I never wanted to but if it keeps my useless boy in employment it sort of makes sense.

Good idea Maybe a sub section for "Planned rideouts" for people to join, I know currently we are few and far between but if you want to change that, you need to change that
