Re: T5 Jetting Advice
I'm not sure if this will help but my T5 172 is running on a standard 24/24 with a scorpion exhaust. I've upjetted the main to a 125. I'd say a 125 or 128 main jet would be a good start for your set up, everything else as standard. I couldn't see a big box exhaust needing a bigger main than a scorpi...

Re: Padlocking Back Brake Pedal
I use an alarmed padlock on the brake pedal when I'm camping. It doesn't operate the back break completely but it makes a racket if disturbed.......

Re: Mugello 240 ??
Reading Coaster’s reply earlier in this thread reminded me of the nightmare of fitting the temp ring! I had mine fitted under the head nut furthest from the fan. Easyish when the engine was on the bench. Nightmare when I took the head off for a decoke! Couldn’t refit and had to file it bigger to fit...

Re: Mugello 240 ??
Another quick question, which I may already have missed comment on... I don't suppose that you're running an advance/retard ignition are you?

I’ve 10000 ish miles on mine and it’s been great but without a temp guage I’d have blown it sky high during the break in miles! For the first 500 odd miles it ran very hot when t...

Re: Engine Cutting Out
That could be anything! I'd raise the tickover a bit by twisting the screw that points upwards on the top of the carb box. See if it helps. I bet thats your problem. If not, check that the ht lead hasn't loosened from the sparkplug cap or the cdi box. Change the sparkplug but check the colour of the...
