Nothing to report as yet , no joy on getting it started and one of them days yesterday ....everything going wrong so walked away from it before I snapped lol, I am going to have to re do most of the wiring as lots of crimped on connectors that are not done right so can not be trusted.

David D , Umm never thought of the hill climbs .......then again I dont fancy hitting a tree at over about 2mph in that machine either lol, I bet the Triumph Bonneville sounded nice , this is meant to be about 200BHP

Wood guy , I think it ran in a none street legal class ...........I dont know if thats just a way of letting things that dont fit into any class have a go ?

Cheers Mick

Davo J:
What a wild ride, hope it doesn't give you to much headache.

With the crimp connectors, don't crimp them solder them.
My son is an auto elec and anyone found using crimp connectors will not be there long as they will fail down the track.
Either take off the plastic bit from the crimp connector and use them as solder connectors or buy solder connectors and use acid core solder, it takes to the wire (even dirty) and the connectors like a duck to water.

Before he become an auto elec I only used resin cored solder, what a difference acid core makes.
If a car comes in with crimp connectors they know strait up it's a home job, but they have found them in new caravans that have burn because of them.

Look forward to your updates.

Dave

Pete.:
Funny you should say that Davo J because I asked the very question on a forum populated by drag racers and the unanimous reply was 'crimp - never solder'.
