Re: Going to compression test bike

OK Mike cheers I can understand the warm part as that's how it will be when riding, so simulates the same.

See if anyone else says how they do theirs.

Thanks for help

Re: Going to compression test bike

Thanks for that Mike, would the cold engine versus warm engine have a big difference?

Why do you test with the fuel on if it's not going to be igniting it?

Sorry for all the questions

Expansion pipe to engine exhaust gasket query

I've never had my expansion pipe off and wanted to buy a spare gasket or two but looking on ebay they range from 1.50 to 26 quid?

Alloy, copper or fibre?

Any particular one work better?

Sorry for the daft question

Seat retrimming, which staple gun?

Those of you who have retrimmed your seats can you tell me if you've used electric or air staple guns?

Also what staples work best, seen a few guns which can do staple/nails which would be nice as dual purpose

Thanks

Re: Newbie oil pump adjustment query

Sorted it Mike, for some reason it had something like a roll pin over the throttle cable at top near brake lever. It wasn't allowing full adjustment so I shortened that and it's fine now.

Must have had a longer cable fitted to it or something

Thanks for your help

Re: Newbie oil pump adjustment query

Cheers for help Mike

I can hear the bottoming out in the carb.

I'll pull tank off and go from there then, I've only touched the throttle cable at the carb end.

Sure it's something daft, but know how important oil settings are don't want to damage engine

Re: Newbie oil pump adjustment query

You mean the brass nut on the throttle cable as oil pump seems to have normal steel ones.

Both cables look pretty new to be honest

I seemed to have trouble setting the throttle cable would it affect it? Maybe I've got that wrong
