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

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...

Re: Cable tie clip self adhesive bases
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...
