Minimotos..

[Milky]

delvey91, my mate and me bought three minimoto's today for £25 each.. they run well an stuff and are awsome! took em to an industrial estate next to exeter airport and round some lanes and spent the day 'ragging it round'..



we all fell off them. 5 times in total between us. leathers are for pussys!



i'f anyone's got too much time on there hands i strongly advise this. im in alot of pain now and covered in 2 stroke oil, petrol and have been picking the gravel out of my palms but f!ck me it wasnt half fun!


one. thing tho.. the trials bike one leaks petrol out of what looks like an overflow pipe. coming from the side of the carb where it joins to the cyclinder and stuff.. and i mean.. properly leaks.. it'l come out as fast as you fill the tank..

we thought the float in the carb sump might be covered in dirt and not working properly so took that off and got all the crap out.. it seemed ok for a bit but then started leaking again later in the day.. is ther any obvious things it could be?.. Cheers!, Tom.

. You failed to mention was the only one that didnt get hurt haha.

Lol on the way home went round this corner a bit quick and the bike turned over in the back and emptyed the petrol from the tank

Its even worse in the back of my car now hahaha

[Milky]

ahahahahaha! yeh soz bout that mate. when we go agen we'l stick a massive tarpaulin or somthin in the back so it doesnt go all over you boot agen haha. not much we can do bout burnin bumpers tho!

haha knee down is suprisingly hard on em. cos ther so slow and un stable. and he foot rests dig in way before the bike is lent over atall haha.

there's a float in the fuel tank is ther?.. i thought the fuel was only controlled through the float in the carb..

yea there is only a float on the bottom of the carb, i have a motocross style one and also a quad that we rag around my mates field ( bit softer when we come off ) always have problems with the carb float and i think it is just crap on the float, i usally find if i pick the bike up and bang it on the floor a few times it usually clears it

[GIXXER KID]

yer just a float in the carb but the dirt from the tank will obv go into the carb and so on, you do the math lol

just gotta clean it up a little more and sort the seat out an it's done...

i've taken the whole engine to bits and cleaned it ALL. Sprayed the frame with high temp caliper paint! , fibreglassed and body filled the cracks in the fairing, painted the zorst with barbeque paint, painted the fairing, oh and sealed all the gaskets up with loctit gasket sealant etc.. starts everytime and is quick as f!ck now .. bout a days work ..
