Re: Crikey its quiet in here ..iet in here...in here... here..

Personally, I think we've passed the high tide mark of the internet. There's a lot more business emphasis on website these days, and hosting a site is a lot more expensive and forces the owners to finance it to keep it going. The social media platforms are cheaper and easily accessible and all it c...

Re: Crikey its quiet in here ..iet in here...in here... here..

yeah its a real shame because eventually forums like this shut down and all that information advice and records are lost usually forever like the LCGB disaster when it wasn't backed up. I hate FB with a vengeance its not easy to chat at length in a tiny box and there is no paragraph option . I just ...

Re: Li150 seized. What do you think.

if the engine seized on decel then the likelihood is that the mixture was too weak at idle. ie Pilot too small, idle mixture set too lean or an air leak On deceleration with the throttle closed there is only the idle circuit open . Your gear and engine speed may be as high as 3-4000rpm but its only ...

Re: Crikey its quiet in here ..iet in here...in here... here..

Freedom of speech, yep I'm all for it....allows me the chance to respond to your inaccuracy about the LCGB membership subscription. Its a shame you can't enjoy the other benefits. By opening a thread in a forum you are effectively inviting opinions......the saying goes don't ask the question if you...

Re: Crikey its quiet in here ..iet in here...in here... here..

yep fair enough Mick I know you're right . I should have learned by now that some LCGB members think that everyone wants and enjoys exactly the same benefits from the club . All i wanted from LCGB was access to the forum, nothing else and it struck me as rather expensive for those few like me who ar...

Re: Finally have the LiS 185cc running ok

Sounds like it goes better than my ts1 225! Good work. My next build is an Indian alloy 175 which I bored to 185 for Suzuki ts piston. I've heard they wear like cheese but it's fun to experiment. Ha ...I cannot say my experiment was fun but It sure was a steep learning curve. I cannot tell you the ...

Re: Crikey its quiet in here ..iet in here...in here... here..

Quote Johnny650 I once belonged to LCGB purely to be able to write on their forum. It must be one of the very few club sites in the World to actually charge people £25 in order for them to be able to post messages on their forum !? :roll: The £25 the LCGB charges is for a years membership to the cl...

Re: Crikey its quiet in here ..iet in here...in here... here..

heres a case in point about apathy .
I just checked and this thread has attracted over 900 viewings which is great but look how few people have had the interest or inclination to join the discussion or contribute something ...anything
