ive used the clear float bowl ones on a project with no problems, one advantage of that particular type is that they have an adjustable power jet. i have literally leant down and dialed the carb at wide open throttle, right up to spluttering, then back down a bit, great fun!

Excellent Motogp weekend, best i can remember for a long time. the Yamahas desperately need to find something, its becoming embarrassing. What is wrong with Marquez and the Ducatis? The Aprilias are starting to look impressive, i can hear Martin saying "please can i have my old job back!" Also great to see Acosta getting closer to the win.

Dvsrd,
 i have had that thought, although i have not done any testing, they work well for me with a plain foam air filter on each.

Well, what a sprint race at COTA, you could not write it yourself, this season looks set to be a blinder. the Yamahas are a bit depressing tho, i would love to see Razgat on competitive machinery

Well, that was an interesting race weekend. Bez is starting to look very dangerous. Looks like the championship will be more open this year, possibly MM may not have it all his own way, and Yamaha may have nothing at all going their way! Maybe Pecco will go to Aprilia at just the right time, and Martin will leave at just the wrong time.
Very happy that now in Ireland we have someone to cheer for in Moto3, go Casey.
also, cant see the Qatar round going ahead at the moment.
cheers

i heard Peco is off to Aprilia! 2027 is a real shake up.

i was in Valencia for the final round, very good weekend. we were sat in front of a couple of guys from the UK who were telling us how superb the Yamaha V4 sounded, and i had the thought "how can you pick it out from the pack and how much different can it sound?"   then it came round............. it sounds unearthly and unlike any other V4 out there. dont know why tho??!!   looking forward to next year with Razgat on it!
cheers

hi,
if it turns out that the control box is toast (ive had one go after a reg/rect failure) there is a guy in Greece who repairs/modifies them with a switch box to play with the valve timing, i highly recommend him, did a great job on mine.

thanks Mark

but why?!

guys,

a question that i should be able to get my head around, but cant.

if i replace a worn set of ign points with a new set, assuming the points gap is the same, does the ignition timing stay the same??

cheers

guys,

motogp is starting to look more like "the ducati cup";

Lads,

Race day was superb, we were right at the braking point on the finish straight, 350kph right by us, insane.

yamaha did very well in testing on tuesday, Quarteraro second overall and saying that he was very pleased with the new chassis, as was rins. i am hoping for good things in 2025 for them.

who will take it to Marquez next year???

cheers

Excellent season, so it goes to the last round again.
we will drive up the coast and attend at Catalunya, all of the takings are going to the disaster fund so how bad. the weather forecast is good now so crossed fingers for them.

its a beautiful place.
