Re: Broken stud - drill out and retap or stud extractor?

I have a fair bit of experience with 'Easyout' stud extractors. None of it has been good. I've not used them since having to shell out for spark erosion to remove the inevitably-broken one from an irreplaceable bit of Laverda. The only ones I've used which have been any good have been parallel-sided...

Re: Founders Day 2025

I could have really done with that gazebo on the way home. The storm hit while we were crossing Pitsford causeway, not much shelter on there, I reckon we'd have been drier driving through the reservoir.

Re: Do you fit new flywheel bolts?

I always use new bolts to the correct grade (10.9??), fitted unlubricated. There's a degree of stretch built into the design, the old ones will be pre-stretched, altering their ability to re-stretch and changing their fatigue resistance. I learned about this after re-using some flywheel bolts on a C...

I'm after a "sticks like shit to an army blanket" type base that will never come off! Thanks.
Having been once issued with an army blanket with shit stuck to it (which was only apparent when I tried to unfold it) I can assure you that won't ever find anything which sticks as well as that.

Re: Dellorto PHM40s

I also checked the needle valve (K4), main jet (AB265) and idle jet (152) were the same on both carbs. Dave, I just noticed your jetting for the carbs. You have 152 for the idle jet - this is the main jet, the idle should be in the late 50s. If you have 152 in the idle I'd be very surprised! What y...
