help with german terms

Bruce Frey · Post by **Bruce Frey** » Thu Apr 05, 2007 2:41 am

All of my Ersatzteillistes with expanded carb drawings call it a "Tupfer".

The LEO online dictionary (very good, by the way) translates it as a "dabber," "pad," or "positioning pin". Tupfen means "to dab."

The same thing happened to me once with my R6. Very annoying. I rode my bicycle back and forth over the area where I lost it (about 2km) a few times looking for it with no luck. I was able to fabricate an interim one from hardware store material.

good luck,

Bruce

Robin

now you're just showing off!

Yes your right sorry,....

It was a bit naughty, but I havent just bought these parts years ago I buy extras as I need them just in case I go on a rally and something gives. I also lost a tickler from my 1927 Triumph the same way...

Yes I could sell you a tickler, but then you would probably have some hassel paying for it because of international exchange rates and I dont have visa or master card because im not in business, so you would have to get an international money order which would be worth more that the part.... then I would have to spend a hour and a half packaging and going down to the local Post office filling out a customs declaration insuring it etc....

and then I would have to go and order more parts for myself to put back in stock.... makes a lot of sense

With respect there are a number of dealers out there who are geared up to take your money , just order one from them
