It has a completely New Cylinder and is fed via a cast reed block welded to the crank case incorporating an RB reed. The crankcase throat also has a cast block welded in to take the Third Transfer Port. The Prot...

Re: Avanti kit seizure

Hi all, thought I would try and give my verdict on what has happened to Graeme's cylinder. We have had a total of 8 Holed or partially holed pistons which have not actually seized solid even after depositing alloy down the cylinder, obviously through running weak mixture. Plus one which was using to...

No only on series 2,

On a Rapido the cowl should not need trimming. It should only be on TS1 & RB's that need altering for the reed inlet . RM

Re: Avanti headcowl on TS1

Need a bit more information, what crankshaft set up have you got? If you are running a standard 58mm stroke 107 rod you should be able to get all three cowl bolts on and should fit flush to the mag housing assuming you have a SIl or Innocenti Mag housing. Are you using 4 x long standard head nuts? RM

Re: 4 stroking between 1/4 and 1/2 throttle

Personally I would run it through the air box without a filter. Is the carb a genuine 22/2 Dellorto? Go smaller on the pilot jet, keep the main jet high.
Also air screw at 1.5 turns out. give me a call if you get stuck. RM

Re: Ron Moss - Avanti TT3 - Cylinder Kit - Review & Test....
