That's correct OK, good. I suppose it's a good idea to replace the capacitor(s) anyway.

synch x 3, very good You didn't really tidy up your desktop, you just dumped it all in a folder er, a bit like me actually, PS your date is wrong. Try ebay for a cheap watch wot works -
Thanks Gary. You recommend staying with points then? Edit: oh, yes, I see your other posts It was 43 :!:

I haven't been following this thread, but on a quick look now, I think that this is the washer you are talking about. There was quite a bit of discussion before about the troubles with the needle roller, including is it better to use an outer ring with the drilled hole or without it (does it let water out, or allow water in?)... and so on. I wrapped the assembly in self-sealing tape to waterproof it (the bearing – swingarm interface). Seems to work.

It's time to buy a cheap watch that actually tells the proper time. That one is quite inaccurate, as your computer says that the time is really 8.28 -
Thanks. The coil wires are all in place. I didn't have time** to take the tank off and explore further. Hopefully do that tomorrow and try the various steps. ** I had to go in and watch Ireland THRASH the Englishers at the historic Croke Park match. Sorry about that, Guzzirider etc "Rampant Irish Crush England"

Trying to start 850 LM, noticed that left header stayed cold while right side got hot straight away. There is spark, though left side may be a weak spark or even intermittent (yes I know all sparks are intermittent, but you know what I mean?). Both coils show about 3.3 ohms on primary circuits. I can't get any reading on secondary circuits for some reason (should be about 6 ohms?). The left coil gets warm quickly. Right coil stays stone cold. Is it normal that one coil might heat-up and the other stay cold (during start-up period anyway)? If there's a fault I suppose that it's likely to be further back, maybe contact breaker? Due to various interruptions, I didn't get any further testing done and I couldn't start bike after swapping coils over, probably because battery was too weak by then.

NO no no One 'l' Holywood. A wee Scotsman should know these things. The words, 'bull' and 'china shop' come to mind for some reason.

Well yes I can help. You're talking boy bands here. Yes? Louis Pearlman. In a money-grubbing moment of inspirational opportunism, he switched from chartering aeroplanes (Transcontinental Airlines) to supermoguling teeney singers (Trans Continental Records). The list woud include the likes of New Kids on the Block, the Backstreet Boys, 'N Sync, O-Town, Lyte Funky Ones (LFO), Take 5, Natural and US5..phew!.. Aaron Carter, Jordan Knight, Sean van der Wilt, C Note, and Smilez & Southstar. He's also listed here: Naughty Boy List -
Quiz 20th Feb 2007*
belfastguzzi replied to mike wilson's topic in Special place for banter and conversation
If the answer, the number, is indeed 42, then the implication is quite stupendous. The implication is that MIKE WILSON has discovered what the question is – and has posed it here! If so, he surpasses the achievement of Deep Thought itself. "Forty-two!" yelled Loonquawl. "Is that all you've got to show for seven and a half million years' work?" "I checked it very thoroughly, it's 42," said the computer, "and that quite definitely is the answer. I think the problem, to be quite honest with you, is that you've never actually known what the question is." Deep Thought informs the researchers that it would design a second and greater computer, incorporating living beings as part of its computational matrix, to tell them what the question is.... COULD MIKE WILSON BE ----------------- that second and greater computer!?!? It's possible, I suppose. In that case, can you finally tell me one thing??? What's the time? -
Quiz 20th Feb 2007*
belfastguzzi replied to mike wilson's topic in Special place for banter and conversation
Which guy in particular are you refering to? If you mean Pinnochio on the right side, he has just told a fib. When did he do it? Well, as you say, he has just done it. What were the numbers? During the second season of Lost it was revealed that the Numbers are the code that must be entered into the computer located inside the Swan every 108 minutes (4 + 8 + 15 + 16 + 23 + 42 = 108). Entering the Numbers resets the countdown timer to 108 minutes. If an individual does not push the button in time, the Numbers flip to a series of glyphs. While the numeric sequence is flipping into these icons, an individual can still finish typing in the Numbers, press execute, and return the counter to 108 minutes. The crew in the Swan were supposed to be replaced every 540 days (108 x 5), which means that each crew will enter the Numbers at least 7200 times. It has been revealed in The Lost Experience that these six numbers are the core values of the Valenzetti Equation, a mathematical formula designed to predict the end of humanity. The purpose of the DHARMA Initiative is to change the factors leading to humanity's demise, which will be indicated by an alteration in at least one of these numbers. -

No. Generally it's the other way round. -
Just pointing out that there's at least one person on the board who can't be all straight – cos he's Bendy. Nothing (much) should be added to the traditional meaning of either words though. 'Unless, Bendy, there is something you aren't telling us.......', to quote Nagbod Hey Mr Romantic, I see you joined this ole place on 14th February (04) Natural born loverman

Electra Glide in Buell
belfastguzzi replied to belfastguzzi's topic in Special place for banter and conversation
Unwittingly, it seems I am indeed. Yo bro In my befuddledness, I was actually thinking: Gil Scott Heron and his poetic, political, powerful The Revolution Will Not Be Televised Of course it was ok to quote GSH – but modern hip hop? Hmmmm. Have I overstepped the mark? My brainwaves went from drugs to television and then to Gil Scott Heron. They should actually have connected to Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy What's going on? Is there a doctor in the house? The revolution will not be right back after a message about a white tornado, white lightning, or white people. You will not have to worry about a dove in your bedroom, a tiger in your tank, or the giant in your toilet bowl. The revolution will not go better with Coke. The revolution will not fight the germs that may cause bad breath. The revolution will put you in the driver's seat. The revolution will not be televised, will not be televised, will not be televised, will not be televised. The revolution will be no re-run brothers; The revolution will be live. -
Hehe see ElectraGlide in Buell thread 'T.V. is the reason why less than 10 per cent of our Nation reads books daily Why most people think Central Amerika means Kansas Socialism means unamerican'

Thanks for your interest folks. I fear that the previous owner gave the authorities too much information when he changed the frame over. The DVLNI here haven't answered my query (yet), but all the opinions are pointing in the same direction. Even though I think it's unfair to say the bike' s origin is now 'unknown', once the Q mark is given, it's a once only, for-life, decision and it's there to stay.

KANSAS oh yeah, I get the joke!

Basically, it's the steering. Handlebars are going straight ahead, but the rest of the front end is trying to turn a corner. It's unruly. -
It's not that I haven't presented you with the reality. Well, you know that I've tried to get you to face up to the facts. PS What about Bendy? HMMMMmmm You know that it's sent by beardy old men?

I think I'll have to accept it found in other webby places – • I think you will find that a Q plate on a vehicle has to stay. To my knowledge you cannot change the plate. • NO you cant change a Q plate to a private plate.the Q means the car has been written off and repaired or the car has been made up of spare parts with no ID • your car has been put on a Q for the reason it has no identity • Q Plates are non transferable and you cannot transfer other number plates to Q registered vehicles • A Q Plate is literally a VRM which starts with a Q prefix. Use of this plate indicates one of two things: a vehicle which was not originally registered in the UK and for which proof of age was unavailable at registration, or a vehicle which has been built using a significant proportion of used parts. It is perfectly normal for a kit car to have a Q registration, but on other vehicles, it suggests that their full history may be difficult to trace.

If only. Mojave Desert. It's another one of those magical phrases. Did you mean road warrior or roadkill? One nation under god has turned into one nation under the influence of one drug (chorus) Television, the drug of the nation Breeding ignorance and feeding radiation etc -
No So what is your equivalent Q plate, ours being QNI? Do you have additional letters by region?
