Glowing whisker on plugI had a Bantam once that did this on occasions.
It culminated one day when it was screaming its tits off at the side of the road. I even yanked off the plug cap and it still kept screaming !
I had to unscrew the pancake air filter and suffocate it to stop it.
I was only 17. I was dumbfounded. Even started thinking it might be haunted!
It needed a de-coke…
No idea how relevant this is to your R3 Baz but… it is a BSA… and it doesn’t switch off… and it does sound like it might be haunted…
Yup, it needed de-coking.Glowing whisker on plug
It's actually a little bit louder than when I took the videoLooks and sounds great! I bet the Misses loved the smell of you when you went into the house! Nothing gets a woman in the mood more than stinky oil fumes LOL
Neither can we !Can't wait
I knew I heard something !It's actually a little bit louder than when I took the video
It's now fitted with a Rob North type 3-1 exhaust with an open megga
It sounds fantastic
I'll have to look at baffling it a little without killing itI knew I heard something !
Phil Pick did say something like thatI’ve probably got this wrong, but I’m sure Phil Pick had a rule that you kick it seven times and the oil pressure light should stay off for seven seconds.
Can any of yooz triple boyz confirm, correct, reject this ?
Personally Baza, I’d be tidying your RockVille up as a rider and, well, ride it. Seems to me it’s far too good to warrant a full and costly rebuild.
You may well be right there …Phil Pick did say something like that
I thought it was turning the ignition off and back on and counting the seconds to the oil light coming on
Doesn't look like any fuse I've ever seen. A way to connect four female spades repurposed from something else.Anyone know what this is?
Looks like some sort of big fuse?
Here's a still from my security cameraNearly had a heart attack earlier ,I'd unplugged the optimate on the jack plug but lazily I'd left the crocodile clips on the battery
I was removing the tank,I'd just turned the taps off and removed the hoses from the carbs
As I lifted the tank somehow the live side of the optimate jack plug found an earth
It burnt the charging cable out back to battery
Scared the hell out of me!!!!
