Vintage BMW Motorcycle Owners

I think he told people that, by burning left-over exhaust gases, he got a better flow. The plug wires just disappeared under the tank- they didn't actually do anything.
Eventually, guys started showing up with plugs in their headers. It was pretty funny.

Thanks- I was looking for one of those spaces where you type a key word in and hit "search". I got to wondering as a result of thinking of the old racer who put plugs in his headers as a psych. Did I hear about that here? Still makes me smile. I want to do that some day. I remember a lot o...

The frames and mounting hardware are the same. I feel like the pagusa rubber lasts longer. Both names start to tear at the front after a while- although they last a long time that way. Been all over the country on a solo seat. (I hate the dual seats- too high and they move around- like sitting on je...

That was it. I started it with the kick-start instead of bump-starting and it ran over hill and dale like a Swiss watch. (No offense to the Swiss folks, but you know what I mean) Thanks again!

I used to test car engines by putting them on a "table" and turning them over by way of electric motor and belt. They got hot from friction- not combustian.

YEEEEEE-HAAAAAA !!! That is why my bike runs like... doody. I got it with those nuts loose and I bet it got worse. One nut fell out when I took the cover off! God bless ya- I'm this >< close to a good running machine.

OK- going by that picture; on the right side, to the right of the condenser, just above the front cover stud, there is a stud and nut. You can just make out a bit of it in that picture. There is another stud/nut on the left, too. They apparently hold this whole shebang on. The holes that the studs p...

I've heard of that safety gap- where is it / where would I look?

Good point... it's new, but maybe the coil suddenly working again gave it a kick in the butt? (Except for keeping my fingers out of wall sockets, I know nothing about electricity.)

Any other condensers work- or do I have to wait for one from Vech?

Well, this shows how my head is stuck in the sand. If i search my head files, seems like maybe I heard of these contraptions once...

I'll go sit down now.
