Re: what the actual fuk
As a suggestion & I know its a fair bit of work...Why not swap the motors ?
You have put so much time & effort into MoriSan it would be a shame to waste it...Yeah I know the Mori motoh has a bit of extra oomph but the yella one has more oomph at the mo so whats the issue...
On the bright side if you do it at leaste you wont be seen on a yella one...

Re: what the actual fuk
my mate Dave called down last night just as i was about to take a hammer to it . so at least that didnt happen. he also suggested a motor swap just to see if it is actually an engine problem ,but i just cant, i dont have the energy left to start pulling two bikes apart all over again Mac., just has me sickened of the whole thing.MacV2 wrote: ↑Fri Apr 12, 2019 7:35 am As a suggestion & I know its a fair bit of work...Why not swap the motors ?

Re: what the actual fuk
I'm reliably informed* that you have more spunk in you to give up that easily...Take a step back for a few weeks then bust the spanners out again...Leave the claw hammer somewher well out of sight...fabiostar wrote: ↑Fri Apr 12, 2019 7:49 ammy mate Dave called down last night just as i was about to take a hammer to it . so at least that didnt happen. he also suggested a motor swap just to see if it is actually an engine problem ,but i just cant, i dont have the energy left to start pulling two bikes apart all over again Mac., just has me sickened of the whole thing.MacV2 wrote: ↑Fri Apr 12, 2019 7:35 am As a suggestion & I know its a fair bit of work...Why not swap the motors ?

Re: what the actual fuk
There is no point in swapping the engine, when everything including wire loom was changed on blue one. I still believe there is some problem in air/fuel intake routes or vac hoses.
Seems to me better idea to have one good bike, and for blue one it is time to pay some labour and not more parts.

Re: what the actual fuk
the thought of having two not going isnt worth the hassle. if its something silly i cant find it. iv had it down to a bare chassis and back up and just dont see anything outa place. im loathe to sell it because i wont get another one but its just an ornament atm and i rather like riding bikes then working at them.. we will seeStephan wrote: ↑Fri Apr 12, 2019 9:35 am There is no point in swapping the engine, when everything including wire loom was changed on blue one.

Re: what the actual fuk
If I had a road legal bike (I'm not cycling over) I'd be over to take a look with you. Obviously not to stick my marker down on possible parts

Re: what the actual fuk
Now the offers start..... Lol.
The fun game would be to buy it, fix it in half an hour, then tell Rob what it was, you would be able to hear the explosion from Liverpool........

It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
Re: what the actual fuk
LOL
Rob man have you gone totally insane what's all this talk about hammers, selling , breaking etc you loon. You can get them thoughts outa your head right away or we will send Marty over to give you one of his private lapdances. Just ask Pete about them he still hasn't recovered. Just put the bike away safe and sound for now and take a breather...no not a couple of days, a couple of weeks, maybe even a month and then get back to it. Geez it might even miraculously fix itself as the weather changes and fresh tank of juice. Either that or try lyrica.

I have to agree with that.
The positive from that is, you now know it's not the pulse generator, so long as you're sure that was a good one of course.fabiostar wrote: ↑Thu Apr 11, 2019 9:22 pm well a nice pulse generator went into the blue bike tonight, fired up the very best and trotted off down to the garage and got juiced up..
and not a wombles jot of difference did that make so thats the end of that story lads, nothing left to change so i sat and looked at it... the yellow bikes about to get a nice set of mori pipes on it, the rest il come back to at some stage...
There has to be something we are missing here, we will all have to have another think on this
Really, really strange this,
Chris.
Re: what the actual fuk
Still not sure if the carbs were balanced at least last time, havent read any mention.
Re: what the actual fuk
It'll be the plugs, I said it early on & I still think it's them.
A simple plug swap fixed the yellow bike
Still no photo's of plugs that have been removed from either bike, it would really help if you did Fabio.
Those critters will tell a story or two
Re: what the actual fuk
have you tried swapping out the ECU or the converter unit?
