Where am I measuring this from and to? The length from the top of the fork to the bottom is 800mm. Mine has 26mm compression with just the...
Thanks Paddy, really helpful! Do you know the correct spring length?
I have a 1980 Darmah which was rebuilt around 7 years ago and hasn't been used since. The forks were very 'stiff' with little suspension or...
I have a set of Dellorto PHM 40mm carbs for sale. They were taken off my 1980 Darmah, although I'm pretty sure they weren't the original carbs. I...
Yes, BPR7HS’s.
Just in case anyone comes across this thread in a hundred years and wants to know the fix, it was faulty spark plugs causing the issues....
Whilst clutching at straws I fitted new plugs to the bike. It starts and idles perfectly now. I've had plugs go on me, but never like that before....
Yes and no. It was ticking over at a high idle - probably around 1200rpm at a guess- in a video the dealer sent me before I went to view the...
T They’re brand new carbs. I can’t imagine they’d be wrong.
Un Unlikely as it was working and the bike runs well enough once you open it up. I’m thinking the advance could well be the problem….
Both fuel pipes are full and no bubbles. The ticklers flood the carbs ok so I don’t think it’s that. Im going to check the ignition and valve...
So, having fitted a brand new set of carbs, I find that they clearly were't the issue. I now have nice, shiney carbs and still no tick-over. I've...
Thanks for the offer, but at that price I'd probably pay the extra for new ones. I still can't understand why these are so expensive.....
I can't understand why the air doesn't just bleed back through the petcock.....is there a non-return valve in it?
That seems a bit odd to me. Have you tried opening the tank cap and flooding the carbs? Might be an air lock….
Well there’s been plenty of fuel getting through when the bike is ridden, so I wouldn’t imagine it’s an issue. That said, it remains a mystery so...
The cast iron discs on my darmah, which hasn't been run in years, are quite heavily corroded. It's not just light surface rust and the braking...
Short answer is yes. There's a good video on Youtube of a guy in Austrailia (I think) doing it: [MEDIA]
I’ll take you up on that, thanks
You’re quite right and I already did that in this case. The slides now rise on adjustment, but it has no real effect on tickover until the screws...
