Re: Fuel tap overhaul

On my MM500 the electric fuel tap also broke down and I had to resort to using the reserve fueltap while keeping an eye on the daytrip counter. Not the best way to manage your fuelreserve. Replaced the electric tap with a normal one but due to the fitted tophalf using it was difficult and removing t...

Re: left hand gearchange conversions

the rear brake doesn't do much in an emergency situation, better concentrate on using the front to the max .

recently at the 30K service-interval of my V85TT I was asked if I had ever used the rear brake, "no, only downhill on the hardknott pass"

Re: Do I have an ignition problem

I forgot to update this. The SWF ignition supplied by Anne (username lemans ) has been fitted and is running fine. Easy to fit but setting the timing needs 2 pairs of hands and eyes. The SWF system bypasses the crappy coil on the stator it takes power from the electric fuel tap power wire. Everythi...

Re: Do I have an ignition problem

SWF, though I see it says Morini 500. https://swf-ignitionsystems.nl/product/morini/ I have the business end of one somewhere but haven't got round to fitting it (a case of "if it works don't fix it"). Really must see if I can find it. Some others too I think though Powerdynamo have disco...

Re: new toy

Re: Do I have an ignition problem

well if the permanent magnets are weak then the winding can't have been burnt. so there must be a short somewhere in or near the winding
