Many thanx for that.

Seems like I will need the complete set up – wheel, disc and possibly caliper.

I’ll check the diameter tomorrow [ dog at vets today ]and let you know.

My pal is having one more go at removing the spindle from the wheel I have.

thanx again.

Is your wheel the same as the one pictured ?

I was told it wasn’t the correct one for my bike [ 19976/77 ] ??????

You’re a star, many thanx

festive Greetings to all my new found pals here.

Thanx for all the help and advice – here’s to a healthy and happy New Year.

Ran my last one on 440 electronic ignition using the igniter trigger on the original bobweights and that ran a treat. Had gpz500 carbs on too, don’t think they are that fussy about advance curves as long as the timings ok, I just set it up by ear.

Not unless it’s got half a dozen starter motors.

The last time I was in the same situation I was ‘the accused’ 😮

Engine wouldn’t fit, the sump on a twin is too wide for just about any other frame, mores the pity.
Did I mention there’s a filter in the sump…. 😉
Then again theres always the beam frame route, air cooled fzr anyone?

Definitely been on before, I recall the blue back mudguard (fender to you colonial types).

Possibly, but then again any oil filter is an oil pump filter, no pump no oil no filtration!
I stand by my ill founded statement!

Bet you could get a 750 lump in a bantam frame!

Dunno where you’d put the back wheel after you’d done it tho……

Take the sump off, (its in the name if you think about it). 🙄

Sorry mate…. 😯

Just occurred to me after I read dougyt’s blog about doing an oil change.
Dont forget theres a wire mesh filter in the sump, I took out the crank on my z400 due to oil starvation, as its not mentioned in the manual, when I was a yoof.
Especially worth a look if you’ve just rebuilt your engine with silicone sealant as any bits and bobs that get…[Read more]

Got a frame that i’ve already hacked about, some axle plates and a spare 750 lump….

?275 quid this morning, thats getting a bit steep. Still fancy building a diesel bike but I’m not particularly flush at the mo.

Bit of a sod to fit a ural chair to anything else due to the length of the frame it bolts onto….
be nice with this engine in it tho…..
