20-6-2015 - What did we do today 19-6-2015 Ully DoubleD running on 1 cylinder , X1 carb with some startup problems , Nice Uly for some thinkertime, steering head bearings

Uly DD, i know personal tast , but i don't like these cases , bike was dropped in by the road help.. running on 1 cylinder in heavy rain 


Uly DD, running bad in rain, usualy 2 things , sparkplug wires or intake seals

Uly DD, with a little watter spray on the cables no sparks flying... while the intake seal leak test did kill the bike, will ask the customer what he wants... as he replace these him self a few weeks again

X1 Carb... some starting issues , and running on 1 cylinder , and new dash is not working

X1 Carb, cv carb mounted, i wonder why eletrical gremlins had been in the bike for some time 

X1 Carb, nice rusted and 5 mm hex heads on the 1/4 allen bolts :-X , will put some new ones on so a 3/16 allen key will fit again

X1 Carb, the battery was charged 3 days ago ? will start with a new battery 


X1 Carb, check it the float valve is not sticking , remove the intake filter

X1 Carb, nice with carbs, you see the squirt off fuel when you pull the throttle, ok fuel in the bowl..

X1 Carb, lot off strange corrosion on this bike

X1 Carb, ground points are corroded. the overload terminals are corroded 


X1 Carb, and the overload is not even connected any more to the casing... this will be fun...
