kinda hard to replace cos i cant find them.. i think i might pluck the metal bits out,cut off the small ends off of two old 134;s that i have, weld them on the metal bits then use auto hose to couple the carbs.

has anyone ever had the engine dies on you while riding along and realising its not responding to the throttle..only to find the carb booth is leaking? if so, how do u fix it?:confused:

out here in jamaica i fish for snappers mostly..mutton,yellowtail,mangove,grey and dog tooth. there is nothing like pulling one of those suckers in and watch them turn on the side to try and go back down:D

yes yes yes..they are the same motors..only different is the names seca and maxim:bike:

they are easy to find. almost any machine of the same size ones will fit with som minor mods of course. but yes check that the bolt in the swingarm that fasten it hasent snapped. if the are then u need a drill to get it out and u may ned to use a nut and bolt setup afterwards to get it back on.

good luck bro and while you are at it ..see if you can find any meds for these bikes lol

if i were you i would grab that bike before the owner wakes up and decides he is either not bothered to sell it or wants more for it lol. thats a bargain worth having...like right now. and yes..welcome to the club.

try as i may i havent seen any of the information on the relays i was hoping for...still they provide a few insights on how to go about resolving my issue..with some common sense.

here are some of the innards. notice the mystyle fuse holders.. they are automotive spade connectors, works well with spade fuses. also visible is the ignition relay the safety one is hidden under the cross peice that they live under. in the second picture u will see an empty female bullet...

thanks dave..for the link that is lol...a woman in that???? i would have to think twice hahaha.

ive tested the safety relay and seems to work fine..clicking when the stop button is pressed on or off and also when the shifter goes in or out of gear..i got the same audible click from the ignition relay when the key switch is opperated. but i am going to do another test today to see where the...
