Timing light

I’m missing something, Why won’t my timing light strobe my new engine? Thought the light was bust so bought a new one. Doesn’t work either. Battery is ok and charged. Don’t understand it, I’ve used this test bed, CDI and HT before and it’s sound. Engine runs great but can’t get the strobe to work. C...

Re: Sealed bearing on crankcase side?

I’m interested in this too, realise it a bit different but my replacement end plate bearing was sealed both sides. I was advised to remove the seals but didn’t really understand why?

Re: TSR Evo pipe.

Fitted mine to a Mugello 198 on a Spanish S2 with a 150 casing without problems. Had to trim the rear footboard. Happy with the pipe and service.

Re: Scooter running on

Re: Scooter running on

Checked for air leaks, that was my first thought. Not cable I’ve done it manually at the carb.

Not checked the choke. - I’ll have a look. Thanks
