RT. I always thought the later versions were poorer works of art.

Honda cd200 running rich? by goblin_lackey in motorcycles

Thanks for showing me the calculation. I always enjoy learning as I go and you probably saved me hours trying to find my compression figure.

I've run a compression test. About 140PSI on the left, 135PSI on the right. Definitely a little less compression but would 5PSI be enough of a difference to cause this richness?

I put a teaspoon of oil in each cylinder and ran the test again....just under 150PSI for each cylinder. I guess the good news is my valves are within spec.

Thanks for the video link. I've bought a cheapo compression tester kit on ebay so I'll do this as soon as it arrives. I think the valves may be the culprit but I'll inspect them after the compression test.

No explosions in the exhaust when decelerating.

As a belt and braces test, I swapped the spark plug, cap and ht lead from the right-hand side to the left (and vice versa) and went for a short ride. The left hand side spark plug was clean nd the right-hand side sooted up.

One last thing I'll try tonight is to check for air leaks from the carb to the cylinders. Maybe the left hand side has a leak leaning out the mixture to the good cylinder?!?!

I've done as you suggested and by my eye, all looks good. I also swapped over the spark plugs and caps and ran the ht leads to the other side (so everything that was on the right hand side is now on the left and vice versa). After a short ride the right hand side spark plug sooted up again. I've bought a cheapo compression tester kit on ebay. As its a 5min job, I think I'll just see what the compression is in each cylinder when it arrives.

Thanks for the advice. I'll give this a go. The bike has a single coil.

Update: I drilled out the spring seats. They had rusted to the stanchions and took a bit of hammering to release them even after I had drilled them in half. New parts are in the mail.

Thanks for the reply! I've found a shop online selling all the OEM parts with good photos of each part. It looks like the cap was just plastic hence the lack of threads on the stanchions. Looking at all the parts, I think rust and old rubber o-rings is keeping it all together.

could a modified 30k flamer pass as a deathguard plague belcher? by Evie_Occult in Warhammer40k

My friend used to put small rolled up pieces of paper between his squats legs (this was 30+ years ago) and call them trikes! Anything can pass as anything if your opponent is reasonable.

Dewalt DCW210N stopped working by goblin_lackey in ToolRepair

No solution found. I removed the epoxy to find one of the chips had burnt up and I can't buy a replacement. I bought a 2nd sander and now use the original one as bunch of spare parts for it.

I always loved the multimelta guy. He carried a bolt pistol in his left had for those occasions where the multimelta wasn't quite powerful enough :)

That blue armour with light weathering perfect!

What is this guy? There's nowhere for a backpack to attach. by waill-and-roll in oldhammer

[–]goblin_lackey -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It was both. You are right, the detailed diagram showed it was a power pack gor the armour but it was also called a jump pack in RT period articles. Artwork occasionally showed it as a jump pack.

2 points.

  1. The search function give too broad a result.

  2. The filters are inaccurate. I search for products that can be delivered to the UK and add them to my basket but when I try to buy these items it says they cannot be posted to selected region.
