New Engine fitted, but.....
Guys, you probably remember I buggered my engine at the TT. It's an L model and I bought an H model engine with the same mileage, but I have problems as I think the engines are slightly different. There's a pipe that comes from the bottom of the radiator to the water pump, but a smaller pipe runs to the carbs. After that it goes into a plastic tube and I'm not sure where it goes after that. I know Northern Andy has swapped his L engine for an H.
Cheers Guys

Re: New Engine fitted, but.....
Yeah I had an idea that's what they were, but where after the carbs do you plumb the plastic thing into? Should have taken photos!! Photos would be appreciated if available by the way!!

Re: New Engine fitted, but.....
trouble with the H is the head wasn't tapped to take a nipple in the waterway through it. All I did was plug the extra bit of pipe originally for the heaters with a nail, tightened a jubilee and cablie tied it to something to stop it thrashing about. No difference in performance or ewt without the heaters in circuit.

Re: New Engine fitted, but.....
if you do lots of riding in the cold though (whinter for example) you'll wish you plumed it in

Re: New Engine fitted, but.....
is the H not very good in cold weather for carb icing then?
I used to suffer terribley with the rs50 and used wynns dry fuel to sort it out. Hopefully I will have the other engine back in come winter.

Re: New Engine fitted, but.....
I'm selling it anyway, need the cash more than I need the bike. Do I need to tell the new owner about the new engine I have fitted?

Re: New Engine fitted, but.....
you should do yes, and update the V5 with the new engine numbers

I dont think anyone would mind tbh. I wouldn't ..Fez wrote:I'm selling it anyway, need the cash more than I need the bike. Do I need to tell the new owner about the new engine I have fitted?
but then the buying decisions and logic of 17 year old punters can be a bit odd.
specially when they so often know nowt about bikes ..
