Re: Connecting Carbtune Manometer to Inlet Manifold

Thanks for your reply. That approach did cross my mind, but as you say, it's something of a fudge. It may be that it's the only option! To which I can only respond "It works for me", including using the setup for years competing in speed hill climbs where it spent most of the time 'WFO'.

Re: Connecting Carbtune Manometer to Inlet Manifold

Being the bodger that I am, I just drilled holes in mine on the 375 that uses PHBH carbs with no balance pipe. Sealed with a stainless steel dome head socket head screw. M5 if I remember correctly - I can check. The OEM rubbers had natty stepped 'plugs' but I assume these are unobtainium. The drill ...

That's the way to do it!

Probably posted a link to this before, but always worth watching again. 350 Sport used as intended.

Not sure the clamps will work on a 350 as the 250 has smaller diameter fork legs.
I'll PM you with a price including postage.

Re: 250 VEE parts wanted

I may have a toolbox(I'll have a look in the boxes in the new shed, but suspect it went to the tip in the house move :( ), but need to keep a spare lower chainguard as they are a bit fragile. Ah, can't find a toolbox. I fear it went to the tip as there was no way to fit it to the 2C/375 and the NLM...

Re: Strada Headlamp bracket straps

Ah, senior moment. I think the pair in this photo are 250 items with the articulated straps. My 2c/375 has some after market ones from a 350 I broke 'shimmed' to fit 250 forks. The just strap thing may be 350. If they are no use to you, a 2C owner may be interested. I won't be building an original 2...

Re: Strada Headlamp bracket straps

I'll have a look in the boxes in my shed as there may be some 350 ones. I need to see if as a 250 tool box for someone else and I ought to sell off a lot of stuff that won't fit the 2C or a 350 engine.

2023 AGM ride in.

Any idea what route the ride in will take. A bit far to Ramsey and back from the White Pheasant for my old bones these days. Might be able to hook up halfway somewhere? I confess the wee vee 375/2C will be arriving at the venue on a Motolug behind our campervan. Hope to do the ride out to Dereham th...

Re: MRC Rally and AGM weekend 8-10 September 2023

Curious. I managed to book a double room for the AGM dates via Booking.com even though the MRC system says 'Out of Stock'. Hope that message doesn't put people off. In any case, we are probably going to use our Motorhome to tow the wee vee on my Motolug, as the riding distance is a bit much for me t...

Re: Parts for '78 Strada

Well, I have tried to shrink a photo of my sidestand to a size that can be coped with here, but working with an android tablet and my general incompetence with matters computing, I cannot get it to a small enough size, hu hum!

Re: Elektronik Sachse Ignition

This report may convince me to make the investment. The 2c/375 has been a good starter since I went with the NLM modules, conventional coils and OEM red type II pickup, but has been slightly sulky lately - not good for a bad hip. This may be carburation though as I had the same not wanting to idle, ...

Re: Parts for '78 Strada

So, a question for those with greater knowledge Are there in fact two standards of sidestand pivot points on the frame and are they related to the fitment of a specific kickstart assembly? I just swapped a steel starter 38.01.11 for an aluminium starter 38.01.15 on a 1978 350 Sport A/3 standard foo...
