Featured Mr O's 1966 T120

I am feeling guilty I didn’t check my stocks of cleaning solution sooner........ it was a slightly anaemic mix but I was able to blow through the orifices and enjoy a little tickle......

 

Under seat pix as requested, 3x my 69 T120 and 1 66 that i found.

 

At the rate you’re going it will be ready for it’s mot next week

 

What about points n condensers or does it have aftermarket electronic ign fitted.

 

Come on darkman I suppose you know the BIG O is Scottish, he’s probably beaten himself up buying oils,battery, plugs etc as it is.
So don’t add to his woes suggesting he spends more money

 

Hmmmmm

quite affordable. Ron, think of the fuel savings .........!

 

As most buyers don't have a clue how to set twin points i would see electronic ign as a bonus, even i gave up on my old points last year and fitted electronic as its fit n forget can't believe all the hours i wasted doing them before.

 

Generally a good thing and a logical way to improve the beastie. 'If it doesn't show then who's to know?' would be my mantra (high comp pistons and lumpy cams anyone?).
Front brake, concentric carbs and later exhaust downpipes (with the balance pipe) will prevent a concours win anyway, but it will be a better bike for them when it comes to actually riding it.

 

Take care when replacing the carbs. Do not over tighten them as the inlet manifold can deform apparently, which means you then can't get a good seal. I'm not sure if this applies to just monoblocs, concentrics or both but I've seen it mentioned a few times in various publications. I don't remember it being a problem when I were a lad, but maybe I was just lucky.

 

The gasket is used on single carb engines as they usually have a heat spacer fitted

 

Just admiring the passenger footpeg rubbers......thanks Soichiro!

 

Perhaps Catweasle has the answer?

 

If my distant memory serves that is the old headlight switch and dip/main beam?
