18th April Mildenhall 19th April kings lynn

16th April Mildenhall - Southerntrack amateur club practice session.

Plenty of 150 /125 cc kids to race and it was a good sunny day ,Joe tried hard but never looked to set the world on fire ,trouble with bike not really spinning the back end he tried various things but not looking good.

However Joe did manage to get into the B Final with Danny Curl

Track conditions were very poor ,most of he track blowing away in dust during the first 1/2 hoods racing.

trackside with the fen tigers

Big bill for mr mcgurk

Disaster at kings lynn.

Track conditions were great ,warmed up bike ok ,tried new rev limiter CDI this mad motor back fire and engine stopped on the start line of the first race ,

Thus Joe had to sit it out all day on the sidelines

Here is the communication sent to OORacing

Motor running ok with new card which you supplied but you have supplier with 160 jet not the 140 which it was supposed to be.

Anyway yesterday tried using the new CDI unit with rev limit you supplied

Motor started fine but ran poor and would not run smooth or rev much ,tried original unit motor ran fine.

Switch back to new cdi same issue with or without rev limit wires shorted open.

Question can I send back this unit as it does not appear to work ,if so shall I send you the old working nit too so you can have al look

I will suspend photo showing both units

After using bike for 5 mins afterwards this it broke down 

Inspection showed inlet rocker had snapped ,have good compression on no mark on cam so need new rocker set plus other bits .

On website there are two rockers and I need to know what is correct t

Details on motor rear casing 

Oo racing
