Engine works

Post by Red5 »

Ok folks, most of you know I've blown 2 engines in 12 months. I've dropped them into Brummers bikes a couple of months ago but have just found out this afternoon that they're shutting up shop and won't be looking at them...
Soooo, looking for genuine recommendation for somewhere to take my engines. Doesn't have to be on my doorstep but obviously South West is preferable. Anybody know of or had experience of decent dealings with anyone please?????
Don't care who you are, how much you have, how powerful you are. You still sit on the toilet with your pants around your ankles. Yep, it's a level playing field..

What have you actually done to them is the big question.

Are you looking just to rebuild the stock motor or wanting it built so it doesn't explode/race tuned.

Thing is you need to find the point of failure rather than just building.
As well as weighing up the cost of a 2nd hand unit rather than a rebuild.

Shame that paul is shutting up shop as was a very experienced ex triumph tech.

Really top bloke and will see what the outcome of it all will be. Seems to think big end gone and explained a few thngs that made sense.
So hoping the mighty trumpet will be alive again for the 2025 track season.
Will keep you all updated... :-bd :-bd :-bd \m/ \m/
