XUD's create a lot more heat in the head, because IDI and pre combustion chamber. DI's don't run as hot. The main reason Darren Lobb went away from them and did what he did was the excess heat and, not being able to get rid of it. Thread drift FAO Scruffy, did you see he has revived his channel and...

You did well guestimating that then! I did one for Toms ZX in 2.5" years back but it was thankfully not too complicated. When he bought the pipe to do the job I got him to get them to put 3 x 45 degree bends in a metre length piece so I could cut and adapt them to suit, bought in bends were out...

I've had good experience of them too. Their older stuff is marked purely Bergen and worth buying if you can get it cheap.

Nah, I'll stick to the Chieftain! :) why is it smoking so much? Full choke or have I missed the explanation? It's running on 30:1 2-stroke fuel because the gas can I use for premix fits in the engine bay without falling out. 18840494-7495193-image-a-64_1569267658502-329882377.jpg Great work on that...

I can drive From mine to derby in the van and barely gets over 70 on guage. Never gets to halfway either. Do they do summer and winter stats? Having the heater on flat out is very effective at keeping temps down as it's a small radiator after all (with high air flow). I know when taking XUD's out o...

A clean pass on the SRDT. Been sat 8 months or so so pretty happy with that

Yes the wheel trims are cabbaged but there's a full set of good ones in the boot.

I'll stick to Varta I think? I know they got bought out but seem to be OK so far.

20231122_161420.jpg 20231122_161439.jpg 20231122_161406.jpg So the Inastates alternator has a problem, I'm assuming it's a diode breaking down in the way it was acting but that voltage reg doesn't look right. 20231124_172408.jpg 20231128_132113.jpg The new alternator turned out to be different :rol...

A flat lead acid battery won't charge quickly than one with a decent amount of charge in. The internal resistance increases when discharged. So a short journey is unlikely to get too much charge in it, even with a big alternator. It'll need a good full charge on a battery charger to have any chance...
