I've just got the injection stuff to make it kjet. I may 20vt it one day... looks like you can get those bits cheap now

So my fuel pump shit itself and set on fire this morning in the engine bay. I was running a kr on r1 bike carbs.. and I think I've probs trousers the carbs. I feel like I'm done with bike carbs with all the issues I've had with them in my time so I'm after some suggestions for engines. I Coul get ...

Why would you want to just out of curiosity?
Get a whole engine and use a bike carb pump. These regulate properly and give the carbs exactly what they need. These are cheap, and I'm sure you would need a regulator instead and this would be more expensive than a bike pump.

Hi guys, need a bit of help on my gear linkage.
is there a way to lock it in and set it? or is it just trial and error? (the rod at the bottom under the steering rack)
I keep adjusting and i cant seem to find a good spot where i can find all gears.
there is play in the linkage, and under the car ...

Yes mate, as far as I can tell, but I may have to have another look and just confirm. After my stupid crack timing issue nothing would surprise me ATM haha

Timing from crank to head or dizzy timing. I'm going to take off all the starter stuff and clean up all the connections I think and try from there. I may even put an earth strap straight to the battery. This has also been painted prior to my ownership

So iv got this strange problem when trying to start my kr, it turns over slowly then quickens up, then sounds like it's catching on something and almost stops,(not in this order just dead randomly). Tried two starters, server all battery's with boosters ect. I did rebuild it, and stupidly times it ...

so to date-
iv rebuilt the head,
the gearbox and block are bolted in- after having to change the cups on the gearbox(remind me NEVER to do that again... what a bloody pain)
the gear linkage is on, shafts are in,
coolant pipes are either on, or in place to fit,

long old thing this is!

i need the spark controller with that little loom, and the alternator with tentioner and mounting bracket bolts,, please tell me you have them... im stuggling!!

haha it was somewhat demoralising... i left vws for like 3 years because of that.

this time no fires!

anoying though as i bought a "complete engine" that is no where near complete

well noones reading this but il update it anyway... took a bit of a change of direction, heres the next step;
