Re: First GP Engine build

Hi Jason,
I would say ditch the 150 head or get it machined to suit the 175 barrel.

Re: mikuni carbs- which one ?

I've put a tmx 35 on ts1 225 and it works great,and it pulls like a train,what suprised me was how good it was on fuel when compared to my 30 mil delorto on a stage 4 225, only had one problem with it and that was the hose split, so I carry a spare one in my toolbox now. :)

It ended up being the rivets on the inside of the lightened AF flywheel were rubbing the top of the ignition coil and were so shorting it out after a short time, so after trying 3 stator plates and 2 lightened AF frisbies it's sorted! :o It's go...

Re: no spark saga!

Hi no the other one wasn't a bgm but looking at the two of them placed together the pick ups look to be in the same place? I wonder if I should change the pick up though? even though the continuity test say's it's ok? all the best John
