BigB's H1 ?

well, the CDI is ok as its off my bike .. lol..

should'a twigged when you mentioned the splitfire's

lol, so what do u reckon it is the plugs? the splitfires are sparking but just seems a bit weak

I reckon its just been sat for ages and needs a kick up the butt

it ran and he parked it up, and fitted splitfires, then it didnt.. so he buggered about with stuff and made it worse ..

i was going to go down and fix it for him but my plans changed so i didnt .. all i was going to do was fit new plugs, fresh fuel, check everything over and jump start it off a car or starter pack. Carbs would probably benefit from being checked over as its been sat for so long.. and an oil change would get all the petrol out of the sump thats probably leaked in there from numerous failed attempts to start it.

what did you pay for it if you dont mind me asking ?

i paid 325, i have changed the petrol and he had the fuel pipes the wrong way round,so i changed them round, then it fired up and ran lovely, petrol was leaking out of one of the carbs at the float chamber gasket so took them off, resealed them and then couldnt get it to go again!! it was firing but that was it, i think i may have flooded it, so im going to put the new plugs in and see what happens, do you think the price i paid is ok?

i told him in a pm it was worth about 400 quid as a non-runner as i paid 450 for a non running H1 with a stainless exhaust + some usefull spares (DJ'd carbs new discs and calipers) so .. yeh £325 aint far off

has it still got the wavy discs on it ? if so BARGAIN ! lol

make sure the carbs are setup right, float heights, mix screws, clear jets n stuff + new plugs and fresh oil/filter and it should be fine mate.

can't go wrong at £325 for it!

when i had problems with getting mine running it turned out to be the plugs, like yours the spark was there but wasnt particularly bright.

hi,yes it still has the wavie disks,how much are they then? i dont really know anything about setting the carbs up, i will try changing the plugs first,cheers

the discs cost more than you paid for the bike mate

toad lol, wat a result

what oil does it need?

10W40 mate, personally i use castrol GPS 10W40 semi-synth.

cheers mate

anyone got a garage or big shed i can rent in the orpington,kent area? my bikes in the mother in laws garden and shes now moaning about me trying to start it up ffs!!!!

Thats not too from from myself mate, orpington is just other side of sittingbourne isnt it? if you need a hand pm me and ill come help you, ive no work at the moment and nothing better to do either.

edit - wrong direction, your near swanley!
