Baie dankbaar vir die tips en advies ouens

Back to square one again. Davies let me know they could not get the conrod kit from their supplier. I tried to get the big end bearing at least from bearing man but they only had one in that size 2mm wider which wont work Fuckup and very frustrating. Done 5 trips to PE already :-(

Thank you Dan and no I did not know that

think I am sorted now with the engine spares. Just the ignition coil on the magneto . The guy Roger who does the rewinding not answering his phone etc. Still need chain and sprockets and a full knobbly front tyre but will worry about that later

So 100kg nou :-))

yes. i got those gaskets

I am on a small farm outside Uitenhage. graaf Reinet side

Kon net gasket kit kry vir die head/barrel. Het piston kit bestel maar is maar n leap of faith. Mens weet nie watse kwaliteit jy kry nie. Ek het nagmerries oor die crank weer aanmekaar pressfit en te balance. Gaan n bastard wees dalk nie doenbaar vir my nie maar gaan probeer. Ek sal kyk wat die...

Just pottering around town between 40 and 70 km/h. Filled up my bike (CT190 ) today and my fuel consumption is 46.5km per liter. 8 liter on 372 km. Unbelievable to me. I know at 90 km/h riding long distance I get around 36 to 37 km per liter with the little bike carrying 130 kg

Had the crank in the press today and seperated the 2 halves

Mine still 6v. I see no reason to convert my plaasbike to 12v. I am 64 years old and never needed or paid a mechanic a cent in my life. Should be fairly easy to convert to 12v myself dieseldawie should I wish to do it. Thankyou

Dankie vir die advies julle. Dink ek moet liewer heroorweeg om die pomp sommer net uit te gooi.

Wragtig sy oorspronklike petrol tenk hier in n skuur gekry ook. Die tenk voel nog baie solid maar kon sien iemand het sulke voeltjie kak brazing op hom gedoen so hopelik kan ek verbeter op dit

Ek gaan die avontuurtjie aanpak en self my big end bearing vervang. Crank split etc Hier is n 20 ton press, verskeie draaibanke wat ek sal gebruik om die twee helftes van die crank weer mooi op te line met dial indicators ens Sal n paar pics hier pos as ek dit doen dat die ander ouens kan sien...

Het hom gery ook maar wil hom nie nat ry nie
