So far I have sold 583s to Andy Sheppard and Dallas, they seem to do OK on them. Andys was the earlier engine with 2:1 Primary and Dallas's the later engine with the 1.85 primary and Clutch Slave on the left. even my original Class B bike wasn't to bad netting me a few trophies |
I was lucky last winter when i found a pair of pistons/rings and cylinders
which had only done 2k miles. (got them for £100 complete)
Phil's got my old pistons which had covered 25k road miles and a seasons racing
they measured well out of tolerance and were scored badly on the skirts.
But it still ran
Pity I didn't check the static ignition timing last winter as it's a mile out
(retarded) max retard on pickup mount/adjuster plate
no wonder every class B rider past me down the straights
Note to self...... check the timing you retard!
