Re: Auto Lube System
It is a chore adding oil & ensuring accuracy so I agree with the desire for an autolube system. It might be feasible to mount a pump within the chaincase, subject to acquiring a complete system from a donor engine. The (not so good or convenient!) alternative would be a system that allows accura...

Re: dt 250 piston in a ts1 pro's and con's
what rod did you use warkton,only rod i can find is the gt rod 110mm with a 18mm small end,as the compression height on the dt piston is 34mm,this would give me 144mm total length,so would i have to machine 2mm off the base of the cylinder to get piston level with gasket face putting those figures ...

Re: dt 250 piston in a ts1 pro's and con's
Recently rebuilt a blown TS 70 mm that had thrown a rod necessitating extensive 'porting' into the bottom end (effectively to tidy up the slot created) I bought a Mitaka DT250 non Dykes piston from Grampian to go with the 60 mm stroke long rod crankshaft. The rod was already suitable for 18 mm wrist...

Re: GT186 30mm Dell' Orto carb question
Pity to molest a new carburettor cap, but the fasteners can be replaced by countersunk screws & the cable outer have a tight bend elbow into the cap. You might even get away with a OEM brass choke cable elbow as a throttle cable elbow. Lots of elbows, cable sheaths & in line adjusters are av...

Re: Tv175 disc brake squeal
As you have received no responses, I'll state my opinion based upon experience. The pads, being circular, tend to rotate, particuarly on the static side with it's central adjuster, which also means that it is pivotal with a low area of contact. Copaslip is great stuff, but on the pad sides will enco...

Re: GT200 base gasket vs stock transfer port comparison (seeking pics)
After the recent record and advancements by darrell Taylor, I wouldn't bother. Nice though it is to see smooth matched transfers, 58bhp and 127mph on an untouched, unwelded Italian case speaks volumes to me. That and the back to back testing of engines in a wide range of tunes before and after matc...

Re: Front Brake Cable
You can lubricate from the bottom end by releasing the inner cable from it's clevises/clamp & attach a hydraulic oiler.
The choice of oil is what I always agonise about!

Re: Gearbox locked after rebuild
As Garry said, the problem is most likely the kickstart mechanism catching the clutch. I've had, on occasion, engines that had never previously been taken apart from the day Innocenti assembled them with evidence of this occurring. You will see in your engine witness marks of the rubbing. If you lin...
